Regulators and officials on June 2, 2026 confirmed that published accounts tied the story to wider national and sector coverage. The MHA notified the Immigration and Foreigners (Amendment) Rules, 2026 through a gazette notification dated June 1, 2026.
Further context from the day indicated the amendments took effect immediately under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025 framework. Rule 12 was changed so foreigners on visas up to 180 days must register before the 180-day period expires, not after it.
Parallel announcements clarified that appeals against civil authority directions must now be filed online to the Bureau of Immigration commissioner within 30 days.
Officials said further steps would follow as reviews continue.
