Free UAE Visa Expiry Calculator — Track All Your Employees in One Place

One expired visa now costs AED 50 a day — everywhere

On 11 February 2026, ICP unified visa overstay fines across all seven emirates at a flat AED 50 per day. Before that, the amount depended on visa type and where you were counting from. Now it is one number, it starts accruing automatically, and it is flagged in real time at every airport smart gate in the country.

For an individual who forgot a renewal, that is annoying. For a company holding 40 residence visas, it is a different kind of problem. Nobody forgets one visa. Companies forget visas in batches — the three technicians hired in the same month two years ago, all expiring in the same fortnight, all sitting in a spreadsheet column nobody sorted since March.

The grace period is not what most people think

After a residence visa expires, the holder gets a grace period before overstay fines begin. But the length depends on the visa category:

• Standard employment visas: 30 days. This is the one that applies to most of your workforce.
• Golden Visa and Green Visa holders: up to 180 days, depending on category.
• Cancelled visas: the clock runs from the end of the applicable grace period after cancellation — not from the cancellation date itself.

Two more dates interact with the visa date, and both catch people out. The Emirates ID usually co-expires with the visa but carries its own fine — AED 20 per day after its own 30-day grace, capped at AED 1,000. And the passport: a UAE residence visa cannot be renewed if the passport has less than six months' validity. A visa renewal that starts on time can still stall for weeks because the passport renewal should have started first.

Do the maths on your own portfolio

We built a free calculator for exactly this: the Proziyo Expiry Checker. Enter your employees' visa, Emirates ID, and passport dates — or a whole list at once — and it shows you a traffic-light view of who is safe, who is inside the renewal window, and who is already costing money. It also estimates the fine exposure per person at today's rates, so the conversation with management is about a dirham figure, not a vague risk. No signup, nothing stored.

If you want the fine arithmetic on its own, the fine calculator does one person at a time.

What a calculator cannot do

A calculator answers the question on the day you ask it. The failure mode in every company we talk to is that nobody asked on the right day. The spreadsheet was accurate; it just was not open.

That is the line between a tool and a system. A tracking system pushes — it emails the PRO officer at 90 days, escalates to their manager at 60 if nothing moved, and keeps escalating until someone acts. We wrote up the full operating pattern in How to Track Multiple Visa Expiries Across UAE Entities Without Spreadsheets.

Start with the free checker to see where you stand today. If the result makes you uncomfortable, a 30-day Proziyo trial takes about an hour to load your data into — and after that, the right person gets told automatically, every time.
