Conditions, time and validity
- Fines are calculated by MOHRE's system; part of a day or month counts as a full day or month.
- The Minister may exempt or allow instalments in cases set by ministerial decision; a grievance can be filed.
- Processing time
- Payment is immediate once the fine amount is shown.
- Validity of the result
- Payment receipt; the block linked to that fine is lifted.
- Where it is applied for
- Tasheel/business service centres, MOHRE website/app, and MOHRE's call centre 600590000 (fine payment by phone announced March 2025).
Steps at the authority
- Inquire the fines on the establishment number.
- Explain each fine to the client; check if a grievance or exemption is possible.
- Pay the fine.
Tips that save you a trip
- Before paying a large fine, ask us whether a grievance applies: MOHRE allows a grievance within 30 working days of the decision.
- Renew work permits on time: the late fine is AED 200 per month per worker.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- The fine is under grievance or exemption review and cannot be paid yet.
Questions and answers
Can fines be paid in instalments?
The Minister may allow exemption or instalments in cases set by a ministerial decision; our staff check eligibility.
Why can't I issue a new work permit?
Unpaid fines usually block new transactions; pay or resolve them first.
