Huge rush continues at UAE Amnesty centres on Day 2

Day 1 sees 1,000-plus applicants legalise their status, says top official

DUBAI: More than 1,000 people legalised their residency status in Dubai on Day 1 of the visa amnesty scheme in the UAE which began on Sunday, a top official told Gulf News on Monday morning.

During the two-month grace period that ends on October 31, violators of residency laws can escape legal action, including a ban and fines, by either leaving the country or regularising their status without paying any fees.
