The Most Attractive Country For Living and Working.
The UAE’s recent initiative to allow visa violators to correct their status has seen significant engagement and interest.
During the first week of this initiative, 88% of violators who applied for status correction chose to remain and work in the country.
While 12% opted to leave.
This underscores the UAE’s attractiveness as a place to live and work.
It also highlights the initiative’s role in helping individuals change their trajectory while staying within the country.
Visa Violators Can Leave the UAE Without Administrative Restrictions
The process has been made straightforward.
With dedicated teams from various government and private entities ensuring smooth service delivery.
These teams are actively present in service centers across the UAE.
Addressing urgent needs and finding creative solutions to challenges.
Private companies are also encouraged to support Visa violators by offering employment opportunities.
One key advantage of this initiative is that it allows Visa violators to leave the country without administrative restrictions that would prevent their return.
This humane and legal approach reflects the UAE’s commitment to respecting human rights.
Services For Residents with Visa Violations.
The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) provides six main services for Visa violators during this graceful period:
- Issuing exit permits.
- Renewing residence permits.
- Issuing residence permits for foreign-born children.
- Issuing new work or residence visas.
- Modifying conditions on valid visas.
- Issuing residence permits for violators of work and residence visas.

For those without existing biometric data (such as fingerprints), the ICA has set up ten centers across the country to register their biometrics.
This facilitates the process of obtaining biometric services anywhere in the UAE, based on the visa or residence permit previously issued.
