The UAE’s 2024 visa amnesty, held from September to December, offered undocumented residents a chance to legalise their status or exit without penalties. Despite extensions and support, many overstayers failed to act and now face fines, blacklisting, or deportation. Authorities have intensified enforcement in 2025, warning that leniency has ended and legal consequences are now in full effect.
