Ras Al Khaimah: A number of Asians were caught by the Naturalisation, Residency and Checkpoints Department in Ras Al Khaimah, trading in falsified entry permits.

Colonel Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al Hosani, head of the Violators and Foreigners Follow-Up office in Ras Al Khaimah, said two people with false visas were caught by the office in Khor Fakkan.

Upon interrogation, another group of people were found.
A contracting company and a tourism company who were allegedly trading in false visas were also discovered.
