That happens here too Baldrick, an example is all those guys you see near the souq with the trucks. They pay a local to sponsor them and have to give him so much a month so he wont cancel their visas. The Local usually holds their passports (which is also illegal under the Immigration amendments) and will turn them over to CID if they dont pay up.

All of this is oh so very illegal....
