Immigration department cracks false employment case

The Immigration Department of the Public Security Police Force (PSP) has investigated and solved a false employment case. The investigation exposed an individual who profited illegally, by making use of the quota of non-resident workers to assist foreigners in obtaining a Macau visa.
The case happened last month. The Investigation Subdivision of the Immigration Department was handling a forged document case when an abnormal employment record of a local woman was detected. The record showed that she applied for the employment of non-resident workers several times but then quickly proceeded to cancel the applications soon after.
According to PSP, it was suspected that somebody was providing assistance to non-
resident workers in order to profit illegally.
Upon investigation, a Vietnamese woman admitted that she had benefited by cooperating with a local woman in assisting others to more easily obtain a local visa by submitting an application for the non-resident worker quota. PSP then sent the two suspects to the Public Prosecutions Office for their involvement in several “forged document” cases.
In a statement, PSP said that it has strengthened its cooperation with Chinese consulates in various countries by adopting the appropriate measures to together stop the occurrence of illegal activity in obtaining a visa in Macau. The PSP informed that it has established a sustainable routine reporting mechanism with the Labor Affairs Bureau to follow up the situation of illegal use and cancellation of “Authorization to Employment for Non-Resident Workers.”
Among the cases that were sent to the Public Prosecutions Office, it was found that staff of employment agencies were using their employer’s quota illegally and assisting foreigners to apply for a Macau visa and “Authorization to Stay for Non-Resident Workers.”
