ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) has announced a decision to grant a grace period for individuals violating residency regulations.
Starting from September 1, 2024 and lasting for two months, violators will be exempted from any financial penalties in accordance with the Federal Law on the Entry and Residency of Foreigners.
The Authority will undertake all necessary measures to implement this initiative, including waiving fines and legal consequences, allowing violators to either adjust their status or leave the country with ease.
This initiative aims to provide violators with a new opportunity to regularise their status in accordance with the law, considering their circumstances. It also reflects the UAE's values of compassion and tolerance.
A statement issued by ICP said that the procedures for implementing the decision will be announced "in the near future".
