The procedure for deporting of a foreign worker shall be initiated in any of the following cases (Art. 1):

1. If a final judgment or decision is rendered by the responsible authorities to deport him
2. The expiry or cancellation of his work permit, without prejudice to article 25 of Law No. 19 of 2006 Regarding the Regulation of the Labour Market.

The name and data of a deported foreign worker shall be added to the database, indicating whether the deportation is final or for a limited period of time and the reason for it (Art. 3).

The Labour Market Regulatory Authority shall bear the expenses of deporting or transporting the body of a foreign worker while retaining its right to reclaim the expenses from the employer (Art. 4).

Members of the General Security Forces may use force if necessary to effect the deportation procedures as long as force is the only means available to achieving it (Art. 5).
