Penalties include payment for each day overstayed, possible removal, or entry bans. The sanctions apply to various visa categories, including business and residence permits.
Foreign nationals found in violation of immigration laws will face consequences to regularize their status. This move aims to ensure compliance with immigration regulations and maintain order in the country.
