The amnesty scheme which took effect on 1 August and was originally planned to continue until 31 October, has been extended for a second time. The first extension saw the scheme continuing through to 1 December, however, it will now continue until 31 December - in recognition of UAE National Day. The scheme was intended for expats living in the UAE illegally to regularise their residency status or leave the country without paying any fines or receiving a re-entry ban.
