DOHA: In a major crackdown on companies and individuals suspected of trading in work visas and indulging in other violations, the Ministry of Interior blacklisted 2,442 companies and 1,263 individuals last year.
The blacklisted companies and individuals also include those who were found employing runaway workers, refusing to provide or renew residency permits of their workers and pay to repatriate them.
The number of companies and individuals blacklisted is highest in recent memory. The blacklisted individuals face a blanket ban on recruiting workers on their personal sponsorship.
The erring companies, on the other hand, have been asked to mend their ways and pledge to abide by the law, or remain on the blacklist for ever.
The Interior Ministry’s Search and Follow-Up Department (SFD) said in a press release that action has been taken since they flouted Law No. 4 of 2009 that regulates the entry, stay and sponsorship of foreign workers.
