Going to Hatta
So got my passport back but not my overstay sorted yet, long story and I won't bore you with it.
But if I go to Hatta and go through the police stops and they check my passport, do they check your stamp or just as ID of who you are?
Cheers...

Re: Going to Hatta
Sorry, don’t know a true answer to your question but I imagine the purpose would be to confirm who you are and not whether you should be where you are. Suggest, delaying any exotic trips until everything is sorted just to avoid any ‘surprises’

Re: Going to Hatta
there is a new check point on the way to Hatta now as well, I honestly have no idea what they check, I did think it would be for a valid visa? have you got letter from Police about why it hasn't been renewed?

But if I can get a letter from jebel ali police saying they had it I get off free.
I should have a receipt from when I gave it in so need to find that at home tonight.
Nothing's ever easy.

Went to immigration, all fine, then the letter from teh courts say they had my passport for so long, but the police didn't put my case through for 3 months so I have 3 months overstay, thats AED 10k. But if I can get a letter from jebel ali police saying they had it I get off free. I should have a receipt from when I gave it in so need to find that at home tonight. Nothing's ever easy.

Re: Going to Hatta
10k for 3months is that confirmed or rumour. 2weeks ago i was 8days over at airport and they charged me 25dirhams a day. I also expected it to be 100 per day but i have the receipt and it says 25dibs per day.
Hope this helps!!

They've never, as far as I know, looked at the visa page in either of our passports.

Re: Going to Hatta
don't show the passport at the checkpoints, just say your going to Hatta Fort hotel. I went last month and never thought to take my passport, let me through no bother
What they don't know can't hurt them

But I know of somebody who was taking visitors for lunch at Hatta and they weren't let through the checkpoint because they didn't have passports with them.

fair enough, but if I was in Spugsy's shoes I wouldn't volunteer unless asked - he has to take it with him regardless

Aye spent another hour at my favourite place in the world, Jebel Ali Police Station. Got my letter so immigration for the third time tomorrow and hopefully get pass to get up to do a visa run this weekend, booked into Hatta Fort so if it all works out I can get some sun, beers and breathe the *****ing biggest sigh of relief you've EVER heard.
