There is an increasing trend among wealthy Bahamian household in hiring a live-in maid from overseas. One sample case is a retired couples in their 50's who found 1MaidHK.com and placed a live-in maid job order.
The job offer consists of 5-day work, free food, accommodation and airticket to Bahamas and four weeks paid annual leave upon completion of 2 years contract. Good news ! The much awaited Bahamas work permit has finally been approved.
Lorena, the lucky applicant among 4 candidates, is now very excited to work in Bahamas after receiving the work permit and air ticket from her Bahamas employer. "Don't easily give up amidst trial, grab every job opportunity for your family's future and apply through reliable agency -- World Champ International Employment Agency", advises Lorena.
During the application process in Bahamas, the employer is required to post an advertisement in local newspaper. An important part of the requirement is to show that there is no suitable Bahamian candidate for the live-in maid position. The processing of Bahamas work permit took approximately 2-3 months from the time the job offer was confirmed. For the live-in maid category, the employer paid an annual fee of $650 for the work permit.
Bahamas work permit is light yellow green in color, approximately 5 inches x 7.75 inches in size and valid for one year from the date of issue. The top of the work permit read as "Permit to engage in gainful occupation". It also contain information such as employer's name, employer's residence address, live-in maid's name, job position as well as the applicant's photo.
Applicant who wish to enter through USA enroute to Bahamas is required to apply for a transit visa. The procedure and requirements of application is actually the same as US non-immigrant visa. Though the cost is considerably less to travel through the US, however, this does not guarantee that you'll have the transit visa application approved. One surefire but more expensive option to avoid transit visa problem is to fly from HK to Bahamas via London.
