Emaratalyoum, 5 September 2024: The Naturalisation and Residency Prosecution has announced an opportunity for individuals who have violated the residency system in the country and have pending cases or escape reports against them.

They must visit the settlement centres during the deadline set by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security, which continues until 30 October 2024.

They can either amend their status by leaving the country or staying in it to work.

The Head of the Prosecution has confirmed that people with cases due to residency violations or escape reports will be allowed to settle their status and close their cases completely.

The initiative aims to implement human concepts and values, amend the status of violators, waive any outstanding fines, and provide job opportunities for those who wish to remain in the country.
