The Ministry of Justice is cracking down on illegal foreign residents in a joint operation with the government, resulting in approximately 13,000 individuals voluntarily leaving the country.
The collaboration between the Ministry of Justice and the government is aimed at addressing the issue of illegal foreign residents in South Korea. As part of this endeavor, the government conducted joint enforcement activities to identify and apprehend those who are residing unlawfully in the country.
The operation resulted in around 13,000 illegal immigrants choosing to leave South Korea voluntarily. These individuals made the decision to depart in order to avoid administrative measures or facing legal consequences for overstaying their visas or engaging in other illegal activities.
The Ministry of Justice expressed its intent to strictly enforce immigration laws to protect the national interest and ensure rule of law. By targeting illegal foreign residents, the government aims to maintain law and order, as well as safeguard job-market conditions for local citizens.
For foreign residents who cooperate and choose to leave voluntarily, the Ministry of Justice is offering streamlined administrative procedures. This includes waiving fines and other penalties that may have been imposed upon them for overstaying their visa or engaging in other illegal activities. The government hopes that by offering these incentives, they can encourage a greater number of illegal residents to comply with the law and depart voluntarily.
Regarding those who choose to remain in South Korea and knowingly violate immigration laws, the Ministry of Justice has warned of swift and decisive action. Depending on the severity of their offenses, such individuals may face harsh penalties, including detention, deportation, or entry bans.
The Ministry of Justice emphasizes that this operation is an opportunity for foreign residents who are facing legal issues to address them voluntarily, without repercussions. In order to facilitate this process, the government is providing assistance and support to foreign residents who wish to return to their home countries.
Additionally, the Ministry of Justice has pledged to continue working together with other relevant ministries in order to create a comprehensive system for managing illegal foreign residents effectively. This includes increasing efforts to improve the immigration control system, crackdown on illegal employment, and strengthen cooperation with other countries to prevent and expel illegal residents.
It is important to note that the government recognizes the importance and contributions made by legal foreign residents. By addressing illegal residents and promoting compliance with immigration laws, the authorities aim to create a safe and secure society for all residents, both foreign and local.
