Visitors to the Dubai and other emirates were on the fear that they would have to pay overstay fines. People are relieved with this good news from Federal Authority. Public was worried that they would have to pay visa extension fees or overstay fines inorder to exit from the crisis when the COVID-19 is over. Most of the people are not in a position to afford the fees at the moment.
