An inspection by the Immigration Agency of Mongolia at the “Nogoon Nuur 1008” ger-district redevelopment site has found serious violations.
The review noted that, despite a Government Decree exempting 372 project employees from payment, the project employed foreign workers without required permits, concealed and facilitated the escape of people working illegally, and transferred project staff to work outside designated locations for profit. The Agency issued official warnings and guidance to remedy the breaches, but the violations continued and attempts were made to influence state agencies’ decisions.
As a result, the residence permit of the project manager, Chinese national Yang Yao, was revoked and he was deported. Authorities later determined that he re-entered Mongolia using an official passport and engaged in activities inconsistent with the purpose of his entry. He has now been banned from re-entering Mongolia for three years.
The Immigration Agency of Mongolia warned that there have been illegal attempts to pressure and influence government officials to change legal agency decisions. The Agency reminded businesses and organisations to respect Mongolian law and not to support illegal activities by foreign nationals.
