Qatar has granted amnesty to undocumented migrant workers who have overstayed their residence visas and are allowed to return home within three months without punishment. It has been announced that the amnesty rule will be implemented from Sunday.
According to the notice issued by the Ministry of Interior of Qatar, the workers who have not been issued, expired or not renewed resident ID cards are entitled to return home. Now they don't have to pay any kind of fine to the Qatar government or stay in the deportation center (repatriation center) in order to return home.
Qatar has not clearly disclosed the issue of whether or not workers who have not made an identity card, whose visas have expired or have not been renewed, can stay by creating an identity card with the approval of another employer. In the previous amnesty, workers were given the option to return to their country or to stay in Qatar with legal status.
For repatriation by Qatar, it is said that you can contact the search and follow-up department at Salwa Road or Hamad International Airport from 1 pm to 9 pm.
In this amnesty, it is said that the Nepalese embassy will facilitate the workers who do not have passports. According to the Nepali Embassy, the number of Nepali workers living in Qatar in violation of Nepali residence laws is not certain.
The number of Nepali workers living without documents is decreasing after the Qatar government allowed them to change companies, keep their own passports, and remove exit permits to return home.
