Overstay penalties

3 months

The Presidency of Migration Management says a foreigner who overstays a visa or visa exemption owes administrative fines under Fees Law No. 492; the pages we read do not state the amount. A foreigner who overstayed less than 3 months, comes to the border to leave before being detected and pays the fines receives no entry ban. One who overstayed 3 months or more and does the same is barred for 1 month (3 to 6 months' overstay), 3 months (6 months to 1 year), 1 year (1 to 2 years), 2 years (2 to 3 years) or 5 years (more than 3 years). In the other cases the page lists, including deportation, the ban is 3 months (overstay up to 3 months), 6 months (3 to 6 months), 1 year (6 months to 1 year), 2 years (1 to 2 years) or 5 years (more than 2 years). Unpaid fines block entry even after a ban has ended. A deportation decision is taken against anyone who exceeds a visa or visa exemption by more than ten days; a foreigner who overstayed less than 10 days may leave without one if they pay the fine.
