Residency violators will be allowed to legalize their status or pay their fines and leave the country, without denying them a chance to come back, only if they voluntary come forward, Ministry of Interior announced on Sunday.
The Ministry’s Director of Public Relations and Security Media Brig Adel Al-Hashash told the press that all departments of residency affairs across the country are ready to receive violators in order to rectify their legal status, pay the fine and leave the country.
However, those who are caught by security personnel will be permanently deported after fully paying fines, he warned Therefore, he encouraged violators and those who face legal cases to hasten in rectifying their legal status.
Legal accountability will also touch domestic help and their sponsors, as well as those who hide or do not report an offender, he pointed out.
