Non-resident workers application gets upgrade

The Immigration Department of the Public Security Police Force (PSP) will introduce the second phase of its online application service for Non-resident Worker’s Authorization (for non-professional category), the PSP said in a statement. The measure to be introduced on May 3 aims to comply with the development of e-government services and to enhance administrative efficiency, allowing for a reduction in processing time to four working days (a reduction of one day). The service, first introduced in November last year, has received and processed so far a total of 48,802 applications. This accounts for 70.3 percent of the total number of applications for this category, the same source stated. According to PSP, the figures that have been achieved reflect good usage and recognition of the utility of the service.
