Sudanese nationals in the UAE will be exempt from all fines related to residence and entry permits, starting May 19, 2025, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) announced.

According to the ICP, the exemption will remain in effect until December 31, 2025.

Sudanese expats with outstanding fines are encouraged to regularise their status by submitting renewal applications through the authority’s digital platforms. The procedures will be made flexible to facilitate the process.

The decision comes as part of the UAE’s efforts to ease the humanitarian impact of the ongoing crisis in Sudan and reflects the country’s commitment to supporting affected communities.
