Chief Immigration Officer issues warning on work permit renewals
March 26th, 2008Chief Immigration Officer Franz Manderson has reminded employers that work permit renewal applications must be submitted before current work permits expire. He stated that a growing number of renewal applications are being submitted late, contrary to the requirements of the Immigration Law (2007 Revision).
Under the legislation employees can carry on working after their current permit expires provided a renewal application has been made before its expiration. If an application is made after the expiration date, the employee must stop working until a new permit is issued.
