The Department of Immigration has issued a warning against employing illegal expatriate workers, threatening legal action against violations.
In a press statement last week, the department warned that action will be taken against those who provide or receive services from migrant workers without a valid work visa.
Furthermore, employers who fail to secure work visas within 15 days of the migrant worker’s arrival or pay visa fees within three months will be blacklisted and unable to pay deposit fees for any additional workers.
