Saudi Arabia continued its fight against passport rulebreakers as it handed out more than 23,400 judgments against violators in just one month.
The penalties have included imprisonment, fines, and deportation.

The directorate stressed the importance for all citizens and residents, including business owners and individuals, to refrain from transporting, employing, sheltering, or harbouring those violating residency, labour, and border security regulations.
It also urged the public not to provide them with any form of assistance, such as helping them find work, housing, or transportation.
The directorate called for cooperation through reporting violators of residency, labour, and border security regulations by calling 911 in the regions of Makkah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, or 999 in other regions of the Kingdom.
