He added that three months were enough for amnesty-seekers to either leave the country or change their status.
During an inspection visit to the amnesty-seekers services centre at Sharjah NRD yesterday, he said the amnesty-seekers whose sponsors have refused to give them their passports and no objection certificates can approach the Immigration departments to file complaints against their sponsors.
Brig. Al Khaili said that nearly 175,000 illegals had already taken advantage of the amnesty. With less than three weeks remaining for the period to end, all departments in the emirates are facing great pressure of workload and efforts have been intensified to solve the problem by erecting tents and providing spaces for seekers to complete their formalities.
With regard to the new rules related to workers he said the offices of Naturalisation and Residency Departments in all the emirates will be coordinating with the Ministry of Labour and its offices to implement the federal labour law.
Brig. Al Khaili stressed that after the amnesty ends, a law defining fines and prison terms will be passed and strictly implemented. The authorities will launch inspection campaigns across the country and anyone found violating the residency laws will face stern action and penalties.
“The Cabinet decision No. 1/33 regarding the amnesty stipulates punishment for employers, sponsors and companies who provide shelter to ‘illegals’ in the UAE,” he pointed out.
Brig. Al Khaili urged amnesty-seekers to contact the nearest NRD offices to benefit from the amnesty. “We are working 18 hours a day to provide assistance for completion of formalities, be it departure from the country or regularisation of status,” he added.
