Since the launch of the UAE Amnesty Program on 01 September 2024, a scheme which provides an opportunity for individuals to regularize their visa status or return to their home countries without incurring fees or facing entry bans, the Migrant Workers Office – Dubai and Northern Emirates has been actively supporting the said initiative and generosity of the UAE government. MWO-Dubai personnel are assigned at various UAE Amnesty Program Processing centers to assist Filipinos on their repatriation needs.
As of the first week of the UAE Amnesty Program processing, the Philippine Embassy in the UAE and the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai, through a joint statement, announced that a total of two thousand fifty-three (2,053) Filipinos have been assisted on their Amnesty processing which waives penalties for overstaying and absconding.
