More

As the Controller General of Maldives Immigration, he focuses on increasing the transparency of the organization and strengthening immigration enforcement to gain public confidence. He is also keen to work with nationals and internationals alike with a shared sense of responsibility.

Furthermore, because the Maldives is heavily reliant on tourism, he emphasizes the importance of transforming Maldives Immigration to a customer-centered approach even at the border, despite the fact that immigration authorities act strictly in most countries.
