Residence for Family visa and Self sponsor renewal for only 1 year

The General Administration of Residence Affairs at Ministry of Interior in looking at the demographics and its attempt to address the defect revealed by the emerging coronavirus crisis, has issued a new circular to renew the residence permit of those under Article 22 (family visa) and Article 24 (self sponsor) for one year only.

The circular says even if the concerned sponsor’s validity of residence permit is for three years the residence permit (for dependents and self sponsors) will have to be renewed annually.
