Dubai: Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA), confirmed the policy during a recent press briefing, stressing the importance of respecting local laws and taking responsibility for unpaid penalties.
“If the traffic fine is a big amount, they can pay in instalments. We are not making it hard for people,” he said.
The new rule aims to encourage compliance rather than impose hardship. Al Marri emphasized that residents who wish to enjoy life in the UAE must abide by the country’s legal framework. “We don’t have to force anyone to come and pay. But if you like to live in the country in a good way, respecting the country, follow the rules.”

He also warned that unpaid fines could create complications later, especially for residents planning to exit the country. “Tomorrow, after five years, if they have started to travel back home, they will not allow them to travel. You have to pay,” he added.
