Iranian nationals in UAE exempted from overstay fines
Under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Iranian nationals currently in the UAE will be exempt from overstay fines caused by delays in leaving the country.
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security says the decision applies to both residents and visitors holding any type of entry visa.
The move comes in response to the exceptional regional circumstances, including flight suspensions and airspace closures, which have prevented many from returning home.
The exemption aims to ease the situation for those affected.

US Vice President JD Vance wrote on social media on Tuesday that the US may take "further action" to stop Iranian enrichment. Vance, widely seen as one of the White House officials most wary of foreign entanglements, said President Donald Trump had "earned' trust on handling the war. 'Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens,' Vance wrote in a social media post.
