Thank God you have a good job.

Sir, you can submit a request to the court to receive your passport so that you can obtain residency.

If your passport is presented to official authorities, such as the municipality, as a form of guarantee, it is advisable to approach the municipality and advocate your employment and passport renewal.

They might consider accepting your request if an alternative form of security is provided in place of the passport.

Given the vital role passports play as essential travel documents, withholding them can have a considerable impact on your employment and freedom to travel.

You have the right to request the return of your passport from the municipality.

You can do this by submitting a written request to the municipality, explaining your situation, and providing proof of your employment opportunity.
