Abu Dhabi: Since the amnesty began on September 1, 2014, 88% of those who corrected their status would continue to live in the nation, according to the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP). According to the ICP, 12% of people who had their status corrected departed the nation without having the ban stamp placed on their passports.
The Director General of ICP, Major General Suhail Al Khaili, has urged individuals who have broken the UAE residency laws to use the amnesty period to correct their status. This can be accomplished by submitting the necessary application via the authorised typing offices and ICP’s electronic and smart channels. He stated that, except in situations where biometric fingerprinting is required, it is not mandatory to visit service centres.
The decision’s beneficiaries can be broadly categorised into four groups: those who have broken residency laws, such as overstaying their visas or living in the nation without the necessary permits; those who are unemployed or listed in administrative reports; and foreign-born children living in the nation whose guardian has not verified their residency.
Three distinct groups are excluded from the previously mentioned beneficiary categories: those who have broken the terms of their residency or visa status after September 1, 2024; those who have been identified in the unemployment report following that date; and those who have been deported from the United Arab Emirates or the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
