The ministry called on all categories benefiting from correcting their status, that is, expatriates who violate the residence permit (companies) and the expatriates violating work permits, to visit the aforementioned department or centers, during the aforementioned period from 1- 6pm.
MoI called on the recruits or expatriates to adhere to the specified period, to benefit from the reconciliation to correct their situation to avoid applying legal procedures against them if their situation is not corrected.
