About 5,710 expats have been deported from Bahrain since the beginning of 2016 due to violations of residency laws, according to the Nationality, Passport and Residence Affairs (NPRA).
The figure includes 351 illegal expat workers who were detained during inspection campaigns, reported Bahrain News Agency.
