What should a violator do if his ordinary exit permit has expired, and he has been put on the banned list before the amnesty, and has yet to leave the country?
Beneficiaries from the amnesty must visit the Department of Residency and Foreigners Affairs to settle any outstanding restrictions and close their entries. After closing their entries, they should submit a request to either remain in the country and adjust their status or arrange for their departure. In this scenario, fines will be waived, and restrictions and entries will be removed. The amnesty beneficiary will be allowed to leave the country without a ban stamp if he chooses to do so.

A violating partner or investor must complete procedures related to cancelling the establishment in accordance with the ICP’s regulations before submitting a request to leave the country.
