inaugration ceremonyYesterday on the 14th of September 2010 the controller of Immigration Sheik Ilyas Hussain Ibrahim had inaugurated the first ever in-house training program targeted for the senior and middle management of immigration staff. The inauguration ceremony was hosted at the Immigration Head office and was attended by most of the senior management. On his brief and moving speech after the recitation of holy Quran by the controller himself he had marked that it was a glorious day both for him and Immigration to begin work in a new building with such a notable effort. He had also marked the importance and significance he places to staff development and capacity building.

Although the initial training program was targeted to develop the senior and middle management staff similar programs will be conducted to all staff in the current future for capacity building. The program covers all relevant subjects which will not only be lectured by Immigration staff, but as well as subject matter experts from other organizations.

The program has been designed in a flexible manner for optimum output and is to be completed at the course of 2011. The fruit of the success of the program will not only benefit the participants, but in generic it will benefit the whole organization.

Travel Tips

It is always a good idea to have a few passports photos with you. You never know when you will need them.

Leave a copy of your itinerary and a photocopy of your passport at home or with your family, to let them know your travel plan. It would be better, if the hotels you are going to stay are also known.

One of the best ways to stay in contact with the people at home, while you are traveling, is to have a web based email. Something like hotmail or avasmail. If you do not have a web based email account, you can setup an email account for free from these two sites.

If you loose your passport while abroad, do not start making unnecessary calls home. As this mishap could prolong your stay and you need to save as much as you can. Follow the steps below:

    * Go to the nearest police station and report the incident, and get a police report.
    * Write the name of the hotel, phone number, fax number, room number, your national identity card number (or passport number) on a piece of paper
    * Now call home and get your most reliable person on the phone
    * Give all these details you wrote down to this person and get his/hers identity card number and full name.
    * Ask this person to contact the Immigration on your behalf
    * Fax a letter (with the police report) to the immigration explaining the situation and giving details of your contact person (make sure you write his/hers identity card number).Fax number is (960) 320011 (Head Office) and (960) 320451 (Airport)
