Thousands expected to avail UAE's immigration amnesty scheme
The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner Affairs (GDRFA) confirmed that violators of UAE immigration law can visit any of the 10 amnesty centres set up all over the country to begin their departure process, which will allow them to leave the country without any legal repercussions.
Those applying for exit permits will have to submit to fingerprint and iris scans to ensure that there are no pending criminal cases against them. Per the amnesty scheme, all processing fee will also be waived.
The Ambassador of Pakistan in UAE Jamil Ahmed Khan had announced last month that arrangements were being made at the embassy to grant maximum facilitation for amnesty seekers of Pakistani descent for a limited time only.
He also appealed to Pakistanis living in UAE to seize this opportunity in order to avoid facing strict legal action as per UAE immigration laws.

Jokes apart , what will be the time when we do the same with them "ayee kaaash"
I need some information regarding amnesty..If the violator who exceeded 8 month wants to stay in UAE itself and wants to apply for a new visa what is the legal process without getting banned..
Are you kidding me? calling it an immigration amnesty scheme? It is more like a deportation scheme.
@ Shahid, Nope. Not even us Indians.
Jamil Khan is doing great service to the cause of Pakistanis in the UAE. Wish him all the best.
would any arab country ever give citizenship rights to people who spent thier lives in building those countries?
