In a significant move, the Ministry of Interior has initiated a process allowing residency violators predating 2020 to rectify their status by settling the prescribed legal fines.

Sources reveal that the General Departments of Residence Affairs have commenced receiving violators after a thorough review by the Residence Affairs Investigation Department, which issues a no-objection approval to proceed with the necessary procedures. These steps include paying a fine of 600 dinars for each violator. Upon completing the fine payment, the violator can then proceed to the administration to renew their papers and obtain a new residency.
