(MENAFN- Arab Times) The General Department for Residency Affairs has started inviting sponsors of expatriates who entered the country on commercial or family visas to know the latter's whereabouts as they have violated the Residency Law.
Sources disclosed the department registered 65 commercial visit visa violations, indicating the companies and sponsors will be required to shoulder the cost for deporting the concerned expatriates.
Sources said the holders of these visas were found to have not left the country even if their visas have expired.
