UAE fine check: traffic, visa and overstay fines

Check and pay a UAE fine on the official service that issued it. Here is where to look for each kind, what an overstay costs, and how to put a visa status right.

Overstay fine estimate

Residence, visit and tourist visas

Days overstayed after your grace period

Estimated fine

AED500

AED 50 for each day, the same for residence, visit and tourist visas.

Paying online adds the service's own fees.

Traffic fines

Each emirate's police issue traffic fines. Check them by plate number, traffic file number, driving licence or Emirates ID, depending on the service.

Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi Police traffic fines, paid through TAMM, the Abu Dhabi government's services platform.

Every emirate

The Ministry of Interior's MOI UAE app shows and pays traffic fines across the emirates.

Unpaid traffic fines can stop you renewing your vehicle registration, so check before your renewal is due.

Visa and overstay fines

Staying in the UAE after a visa or residence permit ends, or after it is cancelled, costs AED 50 for each day. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) charges the same daily fine for residence, visit and tourist visas.

Residents get a grace period after a residence visa is cancelled or expires, of up to six months depending on the category, before the daily fine starts.

Paying the fine doesn't fix the status on its own. Under ICP's rules you then adjust your status or leave the UAE: renew the visa, change your status, or exit.

Visas issued in Dubai

Check the fines on your file with GDRFA Dubai, by file number, unified number, Emirates ID or passport.

Put your status right

Once the fine is settled, the status still has to change. We handle it for you, with the price shown before you pay.

How much is the overstay fine in the UAE?

AED 50 for each day after the permitted stay ends. ICP charges the same daily fine for residence, visit and tourist visas.

How do I check a visa fine?

For a visa issued in Dubai, use GDRFA Dubai's fines inquiry with your file number, unified number, Emirates ID or passport. For a visa issued anywhere else in the UAE, use ICP's smart services.

Is there a grace period after my visa is cancelled?

Yes, for residents. After a residence visa is cancelled or expires there is a grace period of up to six months, depending on the category, before the daily fine starts.

Does paying the fine fix my visa?

No. Once the fine is paid you still need to adjust your status or leave the UAE: renew the visa, change your status, or exit. We handle a change of status for AED 1,575, VAT included.

Can I check traffic fines from every emirate in one place?

Yes. The Ministry of Interior's MOI UAE app shows and pays traffic fines across the emirates. Dubai Police, RTA and Abu Dhabi's TAMM have their own services too.

What happens if I don't pay a traffic fine?

Unpaid traffic fines can stop you renewing your vehicle registration, so check before your renewal is due.
