Hiring requirements

Employees with a foreign nationality, other than US citizens, require a (temporary) residency permit as well as a work permit to be able to legally reside and work in Saba. The work permit is obtained by the employer by filing an application with the governmental department in question (IND/SZW). After the work permit is accepted the employee can apply for a residency permit. The length of these procedures vary and in general take several months. Employing employees without the requisite permit is an offense for the employer and is punishable with imprisonment or a fine.
