What this is
Penalties regarding visa fees for expatriate employment contracts are charges levied against any employer who fails to submit an expatriate employee's contract to the relevant departments of the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training for visa approval within the regulatory timeframe, or who fails to pay the associated visa fees by the prescribed deadline. This payment in addition to the visa fees themselves serves as a penalty for the delay in completing this mandatory formality, which is a prerequisite for the lawful employment of the foreign worker within the national territory.
