Jamaican Labour Minister Pearnel Charles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Jamaican Government has removed the need for a work permit for overseas technicians required to carry out urgent work on the island not exceeding 30 days.<\/p>\n

“If your machine is down and you need a man from anywhere in the world, you won’t have to wait six weeks anymore to apply and to get medical and police records. In fact, you are authorised to get him by computer – technology can bring him here instantly,” said Labour Minister Pearnel Charles.<\/p>\n

“If you need the person for more than 30 days, you are going to have to apply for a work permit. Now this time, you are permitted to apply for that permit while the person is in Jamaica; under normal circumstances you would have to apply while he was at home,” he told the Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association.<\/p>\n

He urged employers not to exploit the system.<\/p>\n

Persons seeking employment here are required to obtain a work permit by making an application to the labour and social security ministry.<\/p>\n
