What happens if I overstay my visa in Dubai?
An AED 50 per day fine accumulates from day one of overstay with a AED 100 entry fee on top. You cannot depart until fines are settled at the airport. Overstaying beyond 6 months may result in a travel ban lasting 1–5 years. There is no amnesty programme currently running. Pay at GDRFA Dubai or the airport immigration desk.
What is the difference between a Green Visa and an employment visa?
Green Visa is a 5-year self-sponsored residence visa for freelancers, skilled workers, and investors with no employer needed. Employment Visa is 2–3 years, tied to an employer who can cancel it if you leave the job (with a 60-day grace period). Green Visa gives more independence but requires proof of income or a freelance licence.
