Rajani Shrestha has been deported for illegally conducting business via Ritz Salon.
Maldives Immigration shared on social media X today that they had conducted a special inspection on August 11 in response to reports received via their online portal Immigration Watch against Rajani and Ritz Salon.
They revealed that Rajani had been working outside of the conditions set under the visa she had been issued. The four expatriates working alongside her also did not possess valid visas, hence they, too, were deported on August 13.
