If your visa has expired or you have stayed longer than the allowed period in the UAE, you might need to pay an overstay fine. Ignoring it can lead to problems during travel or renewal. Thankfully, checking and paying your fines has become much easier now.
The UAE government has official websites where you can find all your fine details in just a few clicks.
Here are the top three government portals to check your overstay fines in 2026.
1. ICP Smart Services (For All Emirates Except Some Dubai Cases)
What is ICP Smart Services
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) runs this service. It helps residents and visitors across most emirates to check visa details, fines, and payment status.
How to check fines through Smart Services
- Visit smartservices.icp.gov.ae
- Click on “Fines Payment” or “Violations – Pay Fines – Violation of Entry or Residency”
- Enter your passport number, Emirates ID, or visa file number
- Your fine details and total amount will appear instantly
When to use ICP Smart Service portal
Use this portal if your visa was issued in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, or Fujairah.
2. GDRFA Dubai – Fines Inquiry and Payment
What is GDRFA Dubai
The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai manages all visa and residency matters in Dubai. It has a simple online tool to check fines for visas issued under Dubai immigration.
How to check fines through GDRFA
- Go to the GDRFA Dubai website
- Select “Fines Inquiry Service”
- Enter your passport or file number
- You will see the list of fines and payment options
Extra tip for clearing fines online
If your overstay is under 30 days, you can often pay at the airport before departure. For longer overstays, it is best to clear your fines online or at a GDRFA office before traveling.
3. UAE Government Portal (u.ae)
What is UAE Government Portal
The official UAE Government website brings together all important services related to visas, fines, and Emirates ID. It does not collect fines directly but provides updated information and official links.
How to use UAE Government Portal
- Visit u.ae
- Go to the “Visa and Emirates ID” section
- Click on “Visa Fees” to see the current overstay fine rules
- Use the provided links to reach ICP or GDRFA for payments
Updated Fine Rules for 2026
- The standard fine for overstaying most visa types is AED 50 per day.
- Some visas include a short grace period after expiry.
- In special cases such as medical emergencies, you can apply for a fine waiver.
- Always check and clear fines before applying for renewal or exit.
