Many UAE residents face confusion after cancelling their partner or investor visa — especially about what happens if they stay beyond their grace period. Overstaying after your visa is cancelled can lead to serious legal and financial penalties, which can affect your future travel, visa approvals, and even re-entry into the UAE.

At Al Tawkel Center UAE, we’ve helped hundreds of residents avoid fines and legal trouble by managing their visa cancellation and overstay clearance properly. Here’s a complete guide on overstay penalties after partner visa cancellation, and what you can do to stay compliant with UAE immigration law.

Understanding Overstay Rules After Visa Cancellation

When you cancel your partner visa in UAE, the grace period starts immediately — this is the legal window of time during which you can either exit the country or apply for a new visa.

Once this grace period expires, your stay becomes illegal, and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) begins applying daily fines until you leave or change your visa status.

The UAE overstay penalty system is strict but transparent — it’s designed to encourage visa holders to complete their immigration procedures on time.

UAE Overstay Fine Structure (After Visa Cancellation)

As per UAE immigration laws, the overstay fines depend on how long you remain after your grace period ends:

So, if you overstay 10 days after your partner visa cancellation grace period, you’ll owe roughly AED 750 in total fines.
This can increase if you delay your exit or fail to regularize your visa status in time.

Consequences of Overstaying After Visa Cancellation

Overstaying in the UAE beyond the grace period is not only costly — it can also cause long-term legal issues. Some of the key consequences include:

• Accumulation of daily immigration fines.
• Travel bans or entry restrictions for future UAE visits.
• Difficulty obtaining new residence or work visas.
• Blacklisting in the immigration system if overstaying continues too long.
• Problems with bank account closures, tenancy contracts, and Emirates ID renewal.

If you’re already in an overstay situation or nearing the end of your grace period, don’t panic — help is available.
