UAE Waives Overstay Fines for Flight-Stranded Travelers

The UAE Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security waives visa overstay fines for tourists, visitors, and residents unable to depart due to airspace closures and flight suspensions from the Iran-US-Israel conflict. This relief, effective for overstays since February 28, 2026, covers tourist visas, visit visas, exit permits, and cancelled residency permits, sparing travelers financial penalties amid cancelled itineraries and extended stays.
