My work visa expired 20 days ago. How much is the fine and what window do I have to fix it?

Based on the latest ICP procedure (verified Apr 28, 2026):

DAYS 1–30AED 50per day
YOU · DAY 20AED 1,000current
DAY 31+AED 100per day

You still have 10 days before the higher tier kicks in. Three steps to resolve:

1Pay the AED 1,000 fine via the ICP app or any approved typing centre.
2Submit renewal application with passport, Emirates ID, and a new employment contract from MOHRE.
3Wait for biometrics SMS (typically 2–4 working days), then complete fingerprinting.

If your employer is processing this for you, request the GDRFA application reference — you'll need it to track status.

Can my employer be fined too, or only me?
