Tourists in the UAE whose visit visas expired after March 1 have a one-month grace period to exit the country or get a fresh visa to avoid fines. The 30-day grace period started on July 12, Brig Khamis Al Kaabi, spokesperson of the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA), said in a TV interview recently.
This came after the UAE Cabinet cancelled the automatic extension of expired visas and IDs until December 31.
