The UAE suspends fines on overstays of travellers due to flight cancellations.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) has declared that it will not impose overstay fines on travellers who were unable to move out of the country since flights were cancelled because of the current conflicts.
A large number of travellers became stranded in the UAE, as flights were abruptly cancelled due to safety reasons and airspace restrictions. This saw some of the visitors stay longer than they had been made to stay on their visa.
To support these travellers, UAE authorities decided to waive the overstay fines. This implies that the affected individuals will not be charged with additional fees when they stay longer than they are supposed to.
This move was aimed at alleviating stress and assisting visitors who encountered unexpected travel issues, the officials said. It is also recommended that travellers keep in touch with the airlines and update on the latest changes of their flights.
The UAE is still keeping an eye on the situation and is offering help to the victims of the disruptio.
