As a foreigner moving to our beautiful island and looking for work, you may have some questions about how to apply for a work permit. Rest assured that the process is relatively straightforward and we are here to help you navigate it.

A work permit is required for any foreigner who is employed in Grenada, regardless of the duration of the employment. The employer is responsible for applying for the work permit on behalf of the employee.

Here are the steps to apply for a work permit:

1. The employer must first obtain a "Letter of No Objection" from the Ministry of Labour. This letter confirms that there are no Grenadian citizens available to fill the position.

2. Next, the employer must submit an application for a work permit along with the required documents to the Ministry of Labour. These documents include:

- A completed work permit application form

- A copy of the employee's passport

- A police clearance certificate from the employee's home country

- A medical certificate from a local doctor

- A letter from the employer confirming the terms of employment

1. The Ministry of Labour will then review the application and documents, and if everything is in order, they will issue a work permit.

2. Once the work permit is issued, the employee will need to register with the local immigration office and get a stamp in their passport.

It's important to note that the processing time for a work permit can take several weeks or months, so it's important to plan ahead and apply well in advance of your planned move date.

It's also important to note that work permits are usually issued for a specific period, usually one year, and need to be renewed every year.

Overall, the process of obtaining a work permit in Grenada is relatively straightforward, but it's important to plan ahead and have all the required documents in order. We recommend consulting with a reputable agent for guidance and assistance.
