Six month job-seeker visa in UAE no longer available

The six-month jobseekers visa scheme, made available to violators seeking the UAE amnesty programme, ended on December 31, 2018.

The amnesty programme, which was extended twice before finally ending on December 31, allowed violators to modify their residency status by getting a new-sponsored valid visa or applying for a six-month temporary employment visa.

The six-month visa was only available for violators during the amnesty period. "Only those who committed visa violations before August 1 were granted that option. The visa scheme neither includes visa violators after the mentioned date nor unemployed residents seeking a new job.
On expiry of the visa period, the visa holders should change their status either by transferring their sponsorship to an employer or by leaving the country. This is to avoid any penalties, which include fines, imprisonment and deportation.

Fine: violators of job-seeker visas would be treated the same as residency violators, where a Dh100 fine is issued for the first day of overstay, followed by Dh25 fine for each consecutive day.
