Work Permit

for American; US citizen from United States going to Dominica

The work permit is the standard immigration process for qualified assignees, local hires or self-employed workers to temporarily work in Dominica. The work permit is usually issued for one year but expires in all cases at the end of the calendar year in which it is issues. Provided the requirements are met, work permits are renewable.

 

 

Takes typically 1 to 3 months for the whole process to be completed.

Note

The minimum and maximum timeframes given are good faith estimates and are not set in stone. It is particularly difficult to estimate how long it will take an individual or a company to prepare supporting documents for an application; we have attempted to do so in order to provide what we hope are helpful overall timing estimates from start to finish of a process. Timing for each actual immigration approval ("major") step is subject to change depending on a number of factors, including but not limited to: workload at the immigration authorities, time of year (in many countries, immigration offices are short staffed during the summer or at New Year), location of application and region of employment in destination country. Where possible, where timing varies by nationality or region, we have indicated this, and when major events cause significant disruption to average timescales, we adjust our data immediately and send our clients a news alert. However, please still be aware that timing of any immigration process is impossible to estimate with 100% accuracy.
