The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has decided to reduce the settlement amounts by 50 percent for the violating companies for not completing the procedures of residence permits of their workers or not renewing them during the grace period for correcting the status of expatriates who violated the provisions of the Law.
The grace period started on October 10, 2021, and ends on December 31, 2021.
This is in accordance with article 45 of the law regulating the entry, exit, and residence of expatriates.
The Unified Services Department, through the service centres, continues to receive requests for expatriate workers employed in companies in violation of the provisions of Law No 21 of 2015 regulating the entry and exit of expatriates and their residence within the time limit for correcting illegal conditions for violating expatriates.
Brig. Abdullah Al Ansari, Director of the Unified Services Department, said in accordance with the provisions of Law No (21) of 2015 regulating the entry and exit of expatriates and their residence, the violating expatriate or violating employer must submit a request for reconciliation within the specified period to the Search and Follow up Department or to any of the service centers including Umm Sulal Services Center, Umm Sunaim Services Center, Musaimeer Services Center, Al Wakra Services Center and Al Rayyan Services Center. This is to consider the exemption or reduction of the amount of the reconciliation based on the provisions of the aforementioned law.
Brig Al Ansari called on all groups benefiting from the correction of their illegal status (expatriates violating residency, expatriates violating work visa, and expatriates violating family visit visas) to visit the aforementioned department or centers, during the above-mentioned period, from 1 pm until 6 pm. He noted that the service centers received nearly 20,000 requests from company workers up to now after the grace period started. He expects an increase in turnout after the announcement of a reduction of 50 percent in the settlement amount.
He said that the procedures are easy, and there is complete coordination with the Ministry of Labor and flexibility by the Ministry of the Interior.
