The Interior Ministry has urged residency law violators, from January 1 and prior, to pay the necessary penalties at its Residency Affairs Department, between December 1-31, in order to renew their residency permit. Violators wishing to leave the country should pay the resulting penalties to be granted a departure notice, and will afterwards have the opportunity to return to the country, the ministry said in a statement.
Those who do not amend their legal status within the aforementioned period will be deported and barred from entering the country indefinitely, it warned. Meanwhile, holders of the temporary automated residency (under article number 14 ) must leave the country before a November 30 deadline.
These individuals should settle their legal status before the deadline if opting for the renewal of their permit, in accordance with terms and conditions. The ministry went on to warn that those found not to have amended their legal status before the November 30 deadline will be found in violation of the Foreigners Residency Act and subject to legal action, facing deportation and an entry ban.
