The Federal Authority for Identity, Nationality, Customs and Ports Security in the UAE decided to exempt the nationals of the Republic of Sudan from the fines of them regarding residence permits and entry permissions, in a move that reflects the UAE’s keenness to alleviate the repercussions of the exceptional circumstances that Sudan is going through.
According to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), “This decision comes as an embodiment of the fixed policy of the UAE in supporting the brothers and providing humanitarian support to the affected peoples, especially in times of crisis, and as an extension of initiatives that confirm the state’s position as an incubator for tolerance and human solidarity.”
The Federal Authority for Identity and Nationality stated that “the decision will enter into force as of May 19, 2025 and continue until the end of this year, where the citizens of the sisterly Republic of Sudan who have been resulted in financial fines can correct their conditions and apply for renewal through the official digital channels of the authority,” explaining that the procedures will take place according to soft and flexible procedures while exempting them from the fines arising from them.
The authority asserts that “this decision comes within the framework of supporting the national efforts aimed at enhancing the social and humanitarian stability of residents on the land of the state, as it embodies the vision of the rational leadership in consolidating the values of mercy and giving, and is a true translation of the mission of the UAE towards enhancing the principles of humanity and peace.”
