REQUIREMENTS FOR A BERMUDA WORK PERMIT
REQUIREMENTS FOR A BERMUDA WORK PERMIT
All non Bermudians will require a work permit to legally work in Bermuda. Secured by the Employer, work permits are usually issued for 1 to 3 years depending on the requirements of the employer and the type of application. For senior or executive positions or "job maker" type roles, applicants can enjoy renewable terms of 3 - 5 years. Persons employed in "restricted" class type positions, or within the trades will qualify for a 1 year renewable term only. Work permits or permission to work in Bermuda are granted at at the discretion of the Department of Immigration, after a careful review of each application relative to the pool of Bermudian persons to fill the position for which the work permit is sought. A work permit is issued for a specific employer so it cannot be used to secure another job with a different employer under any circumstances.
If an applicant chooses to change employers, and generally can only do so after 2 years on a regular permit, then another application would need to be filed. The approval time for a work permit can range 30 - 90 days, depending on job category. A short term work permit can be expedited within a 2-3 week processing time.
