The government of Saudi Arabia emphasized that the people stay illegally must leave the country during this amnesty and the relief period will not be extended due to any reason. Those who will stay even after the amnesty will be arrested, fined and deported, it said.

 
The Sri Lankan Embassy in Saudi requests the family members of the Sri Lankan workers in Saudi Arabia to inform their relatives in this regard.

Meanwhile, the Ambassador Azmi Thasim stated that those who leave Saudi Arabia within the amnesty period will be given legal permission to re-enter the country.
