This type of fine comes with black points in addition to the monetary penalty, and the amount depends on the severity of the offence
A local charity based in Ajman has launched a Dh3-million initiative aimed at correcting the status of residency violators and completing the process for issuing their residency visa.
The International Charity Organisation (ICO) launched 'Correction of the Status of Violators', an effort that's part of a broader campaign led by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) to waive fines for those who have breached entry and residency regulations.
The two-month visa amnesty programme, which started on September 1 and runs until October 30, will allow violators to either regularise their status or leave the country without bans, fines, or exit fees.
Dr. Khalid Al Khaja, secretary-general of the (ICO), explained that supporting national campaigns falls within the approach of the ICO, including this campaign, which exempts individuals from residency fines and gives them the opportunity to amend their status.
