Qatar has sharply reduced the grace period granted to foreign workers after the cancellation of their residence permits, cutting the window to leave the country from 30 days to a period of two weeks. The move could affect thousands of foreign workers and residents across the Gulf state, according to Gulf Times.
The change, announced by an official from the Ministry of Interior (MoI), means that immigrants whose residence permits are cancelled must now exit Qatar within 14 days or face financial penalties. Those who overstay beyond the new deadline will be fined QR10 per day.
