A day after reiterating that residency violators would not receive any extension to the grace period when it ends on 30 November, the Ministry of Interior has come out with a statement that the deadline would be extended by one more month to 31 December.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anas Al-Saleh issued the new decision, which provides those who are in violation of the residency law time until the end of December to rectify their status. The new directive states that in order to renew their residency visa the concerned person must visit the General Directorate of Residency Affairs before the end of December and provided they meet all the conditions stipulated for residency visa renewal.
Violators need to either correct their residency permit by receiving a valid visa, or leave the country without legal accountability after paying the due fines that have accrued against them. The directive warns that those who fail to take advantage of the additional grace period to amend their status and pay the penalties, will be detected, arrested and deported from the country and blacklisted from re-entering the country.
