While this story is beautiful, it also serves as a reminder to everyone in the UAE that overstaying without a valid visa can lead to serious issues. The UAE has recently introduced a visa amnesty program, allowing people to regularize their status without facing penalties.

For instance, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) urged workers and employers who are in violation to take advantage of the grace period. This provides a renewed opportunity to continue working in the country and resolve any previous violations. The amnesty also allows workers who choose to leave the country to do so without facing legal consequences, exempting them from financial penalties as per the Federal Law on the Entry and Residence of Foreigners and the Regulation of Employment Relationship Law.

Always contact authorities for visa help

If you’re in a similar situation, it’s crucial to reach out to the relevant authorities for guidance and take advantage of the amnesty before it’s too late. Always make sure your visa status is up to date, and if you’re unsure, there are plenty of resources available to help you sort things out the right way!
