WORK PERMIT
If you need to apply for a work permit essentially you will need to show that you will not be taking a job from a local person - in other words you will need to show how you will be benefiting the country.
E.g will you be able to employ other persons; have you special skills.
A fee of EC$500 has to accompany the application.
If you are going into paid employment your prospective employer will have to advertise the job three times and show that there are no suitable applicants.
Residence is normally for a year at a time. It is possible thereafter to apply for permanent residence and citizenship in 5years.
