I´m your host Mark. 2009 looks to be a challenging year. I will be doing my best to keep as many jobs as possible listed on the site. I will hunt down and capture as many leads as I can. That´s my promise.
The website will be undergoing new updates and changes as well. Let me know if there is anything that needs improving and we will try our best to get it done.
Employers, now more than ever is the time to be using tropicjobs, don´t just browse, post a job, its free. In these times every penny counts!!
Mark please comment on the visa requirements and permits to work for US citizens.
Hello, and thanks for the question. Work visas are not the same for every island, but generally the local population has to be offered the job first. Once the immigration department is satisfied that there are no suitable locals available, the employer may apply for a work visa for a foreign worker. The amount of time it takes to get the permit (visa) approved varies but it can be as little as two weeks and sometimes up to 3 months or longer in extreme cases. Hope this helps.
