The UAE will use artificial intelligence to help streamline procedures for its residency visa amnesty campaign in support of people with expired documentation.
The government announced on Thursday it will begin a two-month drive in September to allow people with lapsed visas to resolve their status or leave the UAE without fines.
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) – which will oversee the scheme – has since held an extraordinary meeting to discuss plans for the campaign.
During the amnesties held in 2007, 2013 and 2018 tens of thousands of people visited immigration centers.
A similar initiative was also held in 2020 in aid of people stranded in the Emirates because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Residency visa holders are given six months to leave the country or change their status by finding a job once their visa expires or is cancelled.
The amnesty will support those who remain in the country beyond the six-month grace period.
