@Ishimwe Tsono Vanessa A normal sputum culture can take 1 to 8 weeks to provide results. Those overstaying on a residency visa will have to pay AED 50 each day (AED 50 per day instead of AED 25). If you are a UAE resident after your residence visa gets expired, you have a 30 day grace period to change your status, apply for a new residence visa or exit the country or apply tourist visa. There won't be any fines charged during the grace period or else you will get fine.

@Ishimwe Tsono Vanessa No. It mean if your employment visa is already expired then you have 30 days more to stay here in Dubai. To avoid penalty for 50aed everyday within that 30 days grace period you need to apply visit or tourist visa. You can apply when you have 20days already .
