The General Directorate of Passports issued more than 25,000 administrative decisions during the month of Muharram 1448 AH, targeting citizens and residents who violated residency, labor, and border security regulations.

The penalties issued by its administrative committees in various passport departments included imprisonment, fines, and deportation.

Passports stressed to all citizens and residents, whether individuals or business owners, not to transfer, employ, or shelter violators of residency, labor, and border security regulations, nor to cover for them or provide any means of assistance in finding job opportunities, housing, or transportation.

The directorate called for enhancing community cooperation by immediately reporting violators of residency, labor, and border security regulations by calling 911 in the regions of Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, and 999 in the rest of the Kingdom's regions, stressing that all reports will be treated with utmost confidentiality with no liability on the reporter.
