Speeding up the employment visa process to avoid overstay fines

Agency will file absconding against a visit visa

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have sponsored my nephew’s visit visa. His visa expired since Nov 25.

The employer already showed me an entry permit of my nephew. But, the agency is still calling me that they will file an absconding case. Can they do that?

As I understand, the visa status has not changed. What would be the impact to all these? If the agency files an absconding case, who will settle the fine?

What happens with the entry permit the employer already filed? What best should be done?

Appreciate your clarification

Dear client,

The employer of your nephew should speed up the procedure of visa status change. In case an absconding case is filed, the visitor has to pay the fine and absconding can block the new visa of your nephew.

It is better to speed up the process to avoid further issues from Immigration. Although absconding can be removed from Immigration, it will be quite tough and time-consuming.

Thank you for your feedback.

I have contacted the employer but would just tell me they will process by next week. I should not worry since they will pay the fine.

In case, how much would be the fine?
