WORK PERMIT
Your guide to applying for a work permit with the Department of Labour
PROCEDURE/PROCESS TITLE
A work permit is needed in the instance that you want to employ a foreign employee to work within your company.
It is important that you understand that a foreign employee to be employed within your company is expected to undertake managerial or technical positions. All roles need to be advertised and if proof of no available skills can be sourced locally, you can then employ foreign employees.
Employment creation is a key focus of the agency as well and so it is important that you understand how your investment can contribute to this growth.
The Department of Labor explains this process in a detailed flowchart on their website.
The associated fee with a work permit is VT350,000 and this process takes up to 2 weeks from the date it is submitted.
