Foreigners denied bogus visas

PEKANBARU, Riau: The provincial immigration office has denied
access to 75 foreign job seekers who tried to enter the country
via Dumai port using bogus visas, an official said on Thursday.

Head of Riau's Ministry of Justice M. Iman Santoso, was quoted
by Antara as saying the foreigners' expulsion took place between
February and August this year.

Iman said the foreigners were mostly from Bangladesh, Nigeria
and Sri Lanka.

He said his office listed some 1,000 expatriates working in
various companies across the archipelagic province. The number
excludes their families.
