The Media Office of the General Directorate of General Security has issued a statement outlining comprehensive measures aimed at controlling and regulating the presence of Syrians on Lebanese territory.
Among the key measures outlined in the statement are directives for “Syrians violating entry and residency regulations to report to border departments and centers promptly.” These individuals are urged to “settle their status and depart Lebanese territories, with legal consequences outlined for non-compliance.”
Additionally, the statement entailed that “Lebanese citizens are advised against employing, harboring, or providing housing for Syrians residing illegally, with administrative and judicial measures in place to address violations.”
As for Syrians registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the statement clarified that these individuals “are prohibited from engaging in any paid work outside designated labor sectors.”
The General Directorate of General Security also announced the “resumption of voluntary and safe return operations for Syrian nationals wishing to return to their country under official auspices.”
The General Directorate of General Security has communicated with the UNHCR, seeking additional data to enhance its strategic approach in addressing the Syrian displacement file. The Directorate aims to reassess UNHCR registrations and propose amendments to its regulations to align with evolving requirements.
Other notable measures include the “cessation of granting or renewing residency permits based on housing lease contracts or personal liability pledges.” Amendments to the conditions for renewing residency under financial guarantees are also highlighted. In a decisive move, all institutions and shops managed or invested in by Syrians in violation of residency and labor laws are slated for closure, with “strict measures” against employers flouting regulations.
