The General Directorate of Passports in Saudi Arabia has announced the issuance of 15,784 administrative decisions during Shawwal 1447 AH, targeting both citizens and residents who violated residency, labor, and border security regulations, reflecting intensified enforcement and strict compliance measures across the Kingdom.

These decisions included a wide range of penalties imposed in accordance with official regulations, including imprisonment for specific durations, financial fines of varying amounts, and deportation for expatriate violators, demonstrating a zero-tolerance policy toward breaches of the law.

Authorities emphasized that these actions are part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national security, regulate the labor market, and ensure legal compliance, confirming that inspection campaigns continue across all regions to detect violations related to illegal residency, employment, and border infiltration.

The Jawazat urged all citizens and residents, particularly business owners and individuals, to strictly adhere to regulations and avoid any involvement in transporting, employing, or sheltering violators, as well as refraining from covering up such activities, which carry severe legal consequences.

It also issued a strong warning against providing any form of assistance to violators, including offering jobs, housing, or transportation, stressing that such actions are considered criminal offenses subject to strict penalties, and called on the public to cooperate with authorities and report violations to maintain public safety and stability.
