UAE standardises visa-overstay fines to AED 50 per day and launches easier online payment options

Effective immediately, the UAE has imposed a single overstay penalty of AED 50 per day across almost all visa categories and introduced online portals for fast payment. The move simplifies compliance for tourists, residents and corporate travellers while raising the stakes for anyone who forgets a visa-expiry date. Companies should update internal trackers and instruct employees to pay fines online before heading to the airport.
