9 Foreign Women Deported from Jaipur After FRRO Crackdown on Spa Centres

July 27, 2026

Jaipur: In one of its biggest enforcement drives against illegal foreign residents, the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) and the Foreigners Registration Office (FRO) have deported nine foreign women found living in Jaipur after overstaying their visas. Most of the women were employed at spa and wellness centres across the city, officials said on Sunday.

The women had reportedly entered India on tourist or short-term visas but continued to stay in Jaipur after their visas had expired. Following document verification, authorities detained them and completed the deportation process to their respective countries.

Officials said the operation is part of an ongoing campaign to identify foreign nationals residing illegally in Rajasthan and ensure strict compliance with India’s immigration laws.

Women from five countries found overstaying visas

According to FRRO officials, the deported women include five from Thailand and one each from Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria and Laos. Most of them were working as therapists at spa and wellness centres located in upscale areas of Jaipur.

The action was launched after the FRRO received intelligence inputs and information from the local police regarding suspected immigration violations.

Teams carried out surprise inspections at multiple spa centres across the city, where passports and visa documents of foreign employees were verified. During the checks, officials found that the nine women were staying in India despite the expiry of their visas, prompting immediate detention and deportation.

Accommodation providers warned to follow immigration rules

Following the operation, Foreigners Registration Officer (FRO) Dharmendra Sagar urged landlords, hotel owners, guest house operators and homestay providers to strictly adhere to immigration regulations while accommodating foreign nationals.

He directed accommodation providers to verify the original passport and valid visa of every foreign guest before offering accommodation. They have also been instructed to mandatorily upload guest details through the online C-Form available on the Immigration Department portal and comply with all reporting requirements under the Foreigners Act.

The FRO warned that any hotelier, landlord or accommodation provider found housing a foreign national without filing the mandatory C-Form or allowing a person to stay after the expiry of their visa will face strict legal action under the Foreigners Act.

Campaign against illegal foreign residents to continue

Officials said the latest enforcement drive is part of a sustained campaign to identify and deport foreign nationals staying illegally in Rajasthan. Authorities also aim to ensure that commercial establishments, including spa and wellness centres, fully comply with immigration and documentation requirements.

The FRRO has indicated that similar verification drives will continue across the state, with strict action against individuals and establishments found violating immigration laws.
