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.
An excellent job offer was given for the live-in maid position which consists of 5-day work, free food, accommodation and airticket to Bahamas and four weeks paid annual leave upon completion of 2 years contract. The good news is that the much awaited Bahamas work permit has finally been approved.
One of the filipina domestic helper working in Hong Kong who applied for the live-in maid position 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 a reliable agency like World Champ International Employment Agency", Lorena says.
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.
The Bahamas work permit is valid for one year from date of issue, measures 5 inches x 7.75 inches and is light yellow green in color. The top of the work permit read as "Permit to engage in gainful occupation". Other information such as live-in maid's name, employer's name, employer's residence address as well as the applicant's photo can be found in the work permit.
Applicant entering through USA enroute to Bahamas is required to apply for a transit visa. The requirements and procedure of application is the same as US non-immigrant visa. Although it is cheaper to travel through the US, however, the transit visa application is not guaranteed. Another option to avoid transit visa problem is to choose a different route, which is normally via London.
