Dubai has introduced a pilot system linking traffic fine payments with residency visa renewals and issuances. Residents must settle any outstanding fines before completing visa procedures. Authorities stress the aim is to promote lawful behavior, not penalize residents. The system offers flexible installment options via RTA’s Tabby integration across all digital channels. Full implementation is expected later. Under this new system, residents must clear all traffic fines before renewing or issuing residency visas. Payment in installments is available via RTA’s Tabby platform. The system is being piloted by GDRFA to encourage rule-following while providing flexibility in payment methods.
