Telangana IT and NRI Affairs Minister K T Rama Rao today appealed to immigrants from the state who will come under categories covered by the Amnesty 2018 offered by the United Arab Emirates government to utilise the scheme and regularise their stay.
During the three-month long amnesty period from August 1 to October people who are illegally staying in the UAE are offered an opportunity to regularise their stay.
People with valid passports who wish to exit the country may get exit permit without ban and return home (Telangana), he said in a release here tonight.
Those who entered UAE illegally without any documents or visa will get exit clearance with two years ban and they can re-enter after two years, the release said.
People who have an expired passport or whose passports are lost or kept by sponsors and absconding people with cases can also utilise the Amnesty, it said.
Rao appealed the NRIs to make use of the opportunity and said officials had been asked to coordinate with the Consulate General of India in Dubai and the Indian Embassy Abu Dhabi, UAE, for the amnesty purpose.
