Are you going back to the Philippines from UAE with an expired residence visa?
The below process is applicable for expats whose residence visa expired after March 1 and wish to go back home.
- In case you don't want to stay or renew your visa, you need to leave the country before October 10, 2020.
- However, Amer recommends returning expats to cancel their residence visas first by visiting their branches.
- Once the residence visa is canceled, the grace period in which you can exit the country will be mentioned on the cancellation paper.
- In the event that the expired residence visa is not renewed or if you decide to stay, overstay fines will be imposed.
- Overstay fines for a residence visa: AED125 for the first day; AED25 for each subsequent day, til the first 180 days; AED50 for each subsequent day, till the first year; and AED100 for each day after that.
