Ras Al Khaimah: Police officers in charge of fingerprinting will be available at the Naturalisation and Residency Department in two shifts to serve the large number of people seeking to benefit from the amnesty.
Colonel Jasem Bin Eisa, who heads the department, said the officers will be working morning and evening shifts.
The department has exprienced long queues of illegal immigrants and workers in the last few days.
He said the issue of huge crowds was discussed with top police officers at the Ras Al Khaimah police headquarters.
"A review of the work at the Naturalisation and Residency Department revealed that the delay comes from the fingerprinting section at the RAK police. The police immediately assigned a number of fingerprinting officers to work at the department's premises to facilitate the workflow during the amnesty."
Colonel Bin Eisa said the department receives a huge number of offenders who come in to take advantage of the three-month amnesty.
