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.
