The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a significant decision to exempt Sudanese nationals from paying outstanding residency or visa fines, effective from May 19, 2025, until the end of the year. This move is a response to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, aimed at alleviating the economic and psychological burden on Sudanese citizens living in the UAE, providing them with a sense of stability and security during a challenging time.
The UAE government expressed that this decision reflects the nation’s long-standing commitment to supporting brotherly nations and offering assistance during humanitarian crises. Sudanese nationals, who form a significant community in the UAE, have contributed greatly across various sectors, strengthening the bond between the two countries over the years.
Following the announcement, Sudanese citizens in the UAE can update their status and have their fines waived through official digital platforms. This amnesty provides much-needed relief for Sudanese residents, ensuring they can continue to live and work in the UAE without additional financial strain during these extraordinary circumstances.
The move has been warmly received by the Sudanese community, expressing deep gratitude for the UAE’s solidarity. It highlights the strong cultural and humanitarian ties between the two nations, further solidifying their cooperative and friendly relationship.
