During this period, all violating expatriates or employers/hosts can visit the Search and Follow-up Department or any of the following service centers: Umm Salal, Umm Sunaim (formerly Industrial Area), Mesaimeer, Al Wakra and Al Rayyan to submit a request for reconciliation regarding violations of the Law No. 21 of 2015 Regulating the Entry and Exit of Expatriates and their Residence.

Expats can submit the request to be considered for exemption from the reconciliation amount or its reduction in line with the provisions of the law.
