NIA appeals to the overstayers to take advantage of the program's last phase as soon as possible in order to prevent harsher penalties in the future. National Immigration Agency will also help overstaying migrants who self-report to finish the paperwork as quickly as possible so they may return to the nation and be reunited with their family. For pertinent information, the general public can contact the toll-free consultation hotline "0800-024-881" or inquire with nearby Specialized Operation Brigades, service centers, or airport (port) border teams.
