Passports withheld by residency department in absconding cases, will be handed over to their holders, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Those who wish to regularise their visas have to pay all fines accumulated as a result of their overstay of their visas, warning illegal residents who fail to make use of this amnesty that from February 4 they will face the full force of the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the fourth amnesty scheme and we are hopeful, illegal residents who did not avail of the previous schemes will do so this time.\u201d As many as 342,000 illegal immigrants took advantage of the last amnesty declared in 2007. Official statistics showed that 341,958 illegal residents availed of the amnesty by either legalising their stay or by leaving the country.<\/p>\n<p>While 95,000 illegal workers legalised their status, nearly 175,000 left the country. Around 300,000 illegal immigrants left the country under the second amnesty which ran between January and April, 2002. In 1996, about 200,000 illegal residents left the country under a six-month long amnesty.<\/p>\n<p>The move to allow passage to illegal foreigners stuck in the UAE for violation of various immigration rules and regulations is meant to clear the country of thousands of them but Major General Al Menhali declined to say how many illegals were expected to make use of this amnesty or the statistics of those already arrested since the last amnesty.<\/p>\n<p>Illegal foreigners arrested are also granted this amnesty and allowed to leave the country as long as they do not have any pending cases. \u201cIllegal foreigners will be issued outpasses after any pending cases or dues are settled,\u201d Major General Al Menhali said. Al Menhali said residency departments across the country will be organising several awareness campaigns and press briefings to educate the public about the amnesty and the need for illegal residents to take advantage of this gesture.<\/p>\n<p>For any information about the amnesty, people can call toll free telephone number 8005111. It will be a 24\/7 service in Arabic and English.<\/p>\n<div><strong><em><strong><em>Kamaxi Overseas Consultants\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is a leading<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a title=\"hospitality recruitment agency\" href=\"http:\/\/kamaxi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">hospitality recruitment Agency<\/span>\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/strong><strong><em>specializing in<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><em><a title=\"hotel jobs\" href=\"http:\/\/kamaxi.com\/hotjobs_manpower_recruitment_agency_india.php\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">hotel jobs\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><strong><em>across the Middle East &amp; Canada.
