Anyone overstaying in the country should obtain an out pass or leave permit at the airport or immigration offices at the land borders. This was confirmed by a customer service representative at the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai.

This permit can also be obtained at the Al Awir Immigration office. An overstaying visitor should also pay fines for the number of days they extended their stay in the country. This process started a few days ago. Many of their clients who overstayed in the country had to acquire the permit by paying Dh200 to Dh300 before exiting, according to travel industry experts. Dubai visit visa holders get a grace period of 10 days from the date of visa expiry as per a travel industry expert.
