Papua New Guinea authorities in Kimbe, West New Britain Province has apprehended over 20 foreign nationals identified with discrepancies in the entry permits. PNG Immigration officials with local police carried out random spot checks targeting foreign owned retail and wholesale businesses in the province. PNG Chief Migration Officer Mr Stanis Hulahau said some retail and wholesale businesses are non-compliant and it is fair that spot check operations are fairly conducted in all the provinces to ensure compliance of the Migration laws. The operations in Kimbe starts from Morokea to Hoskins with the apprehension of 2O foreign nationals operating in 14 different locations.
Eleven (11) of them were penalised under the Migration Act for discrepancies and breach of their visa conditions. They were fined K5,000 and one on K10,000. A total of K60, 000 Migration Service Fees and charges were raised into the Immigration Revenue Account. Mr Hulahau says Kimbe makes significant contributions to the governments revenue through agricultural industries and logging and it is one way we can give back to the province by ensuring foreign owned businesses are compliant.
