What is grace period for maid's visa renewal and ID card?

My maid's visa is up for renewal shortly. I believe there is a one month's grace period after expiry date to renew visa then then you get fined after that. Does anyone know definitively that this is still the case? I have looked on the DNRD website http://www.dubaifaqs.com/visa-maid-uae.php but it doesn't say.

Her ID card also expires on the same day so I assume that once her visa has been renewed, then her ID card can be processed? And would I incur any fines?

Thanks!

Strangely enough our maid had to start renewal of her Emirates ID first. Immigration would only start processing her new visa with a copy of the application form of her ID. And yes, grace period is still 30 days.

At the beginning of the year it was 30 days grace. I know because we utilized it. I would double check though as the rules in this place are forever changing...

Bump Dragon, did you find a response to your question one way or another? Does anyone else know? DH is planning a work trip around the time when our maid's visa expires and won't be back for a fortnight or so after expiration so we're wondering whether we should renew beforehand to avoid any excessive fines or whether there is a month's grace period and we can do it on his return. TIA
