Following Immigration's crackdown on undocumented and migrant workers, many have attempted identity theft to enter Maldives.
During September, Immigration apprehended various impersonators who tried to enter the country fraudulently by using lookalikes' passports.
An immigrant was also arrested on October 6 attempting to smuggle several forged visa cards.
