People who entered Papua New Guinea on a short term or visitor visa could not break the terms of their permit. Minister for Defence and Foreign Rela tions, Mr Albert Maori Kiki, who is in charge of migration matters, said this when announc ing a clamp-down against those who entered the country for a short time, and stayed. He told airlines, shipping companies and employers of the decision, and added that offenders broke the migration and restricted employ ment policy. There were pro cedures to be followed when ex patriates applied for employment as a range of jobs was barred to new arrivals.
