The UAE authorities announced on Tuesday that they have extended the amnesty period for overstayers until October 31.
A senior government official while interacting with Khaleej Times confirmed that previously, the exit pass given to amnesty-seekers was valid only for 14 days; now, this grace period has been extended until the end of the scheme.
The official further revealed that the outpass will clearly specify the extended departure date, allowing amnesty-seekers to leave the UAE at any time before that date.
The main aim of the amnesty program is to provide an opportunity for overstayers to regularize their status and leave the UAE without facing penalties, offering a new chance to start afresh.
