He says these people were taken into consideration when the grace period was extended.
"When the lockdown started we said we are extending it up to the 31st of July, when that time arrived we extened it to the 31st of October and we are still inside that period," he said.
"So whether it is a work permit, visitors visa or business visa, they are all extended up to the 31st of October, you don't have to worry. "
