“We are happy with the response on the first day. Over a thousand people availed the amnesty on day 1. This shows the program’s effectiveness and the trust that residents have in the system. Our objective is to ensure that everyone who seeks to regularise their status is given the necessary support and guidance,” said Al Marri.
Al Marri praised the efforts of the GDRFA team, and the officers deputed, for their dedication and hard work. “The success on the first day is a result of efforts of all the officers, social workers, participating companies offering jobs to candidates and the people who are helping the needy with drinks and food. We are committed to continuing to help people and ensure that everyone who needs assistance receives it,” added Al Marri.
The GDRFA tent in Al Awir witnessed a large number of people arriving early in the morning to take advantage of the opportunity on day 2. Officials and staff are working tirelessly to assist individuals in completing the necessary procedures, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
On the second day, the GDRFA expects to process applications for more than 3,000 overstayers. "By looking at the crowd, we are expecting 3 to 4 times more applications on day 2," said Al Marri. “We are here to help. No matter what problems you are facing, please come to us and talk to us. We will do our best to solve your problem," said Al Marri.
"The initiative not only provides a fresh start for those who have overstayed their visas but also benefits people to continue living in our country,” added Al Marri.
