Migrant workers found working as cashiers will be deported immediately, the department of immigration has warned. A “special raid operation” has been launched in Malé today to identify expatriate cashiers.
The immigration department said foreign cashiers are “doing unlawful work” due to a ban prohibiting foreigners from working as cashiers and photographers in the Maldives.
Some 16 migrant workers are currently in police custody for the offence.
Action will also be taken against the employer, the department said in a press release today.
