Residents and visitors in the UAE can quickly check the validity and expiry date of their visas through official online platforms, according to guidance issued by immigration authorities. The process comes into focus as the UAE's Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) recently announced a 30-day grace period for individuals affected by exceptional regional circumstances.
The grace period, which runs until July 9, 2026, applies to people who were previously exempted from overstay fines after being unable to leave the UAE because of regional disruptions. During this period, eligible individuals can regularise their status or depart the country without incurring penalties.
