The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has launched an amnesty for all foreign nationals who have overstayed their immigration permits/visas.

They are now expected to present themselves to immigration authorities to exit the country without any prosecution.

The month-long amnesty came into effect on Monday, 15th December.

NBC’s Head of News and Current Affairs, Peter Denk, interviewed Minister Lucia Iipumbu to discuss and explain the amnesty.
