    A work permit obtained under this section allows a person, who is already resident in Bermuda, to work in any category of work (e.g. instructor, tutor, fine artist) on a casual or part time basis provided the amount of work done is no more than 14 hours a week. A work permit may be granted for up to one (1) year.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

A person applies by submitting a Standard permit application form. Applications can be made for more than one employer to hire the same instructor or private tutor, provided each employer has a separate part-time permit and the total hours for all employers do not exceed 14 hours a week. The official source does not state further requirements for the employer relationship.

Limits of the record
  • Li a seccao 7.9 por inteiro e as seccoes vizinhas 7.8 e 7.10. A fonte nao fixa ocupacao (diz expressamente 'any category of work'), nem qualificacoes, experiencia, salario, nivel de competencia, escassez ou condicao de mercado de trabalho; tambem nao fala de anuncio. O que estava aqui era o formulario de candidatura e a remissao generica de taxas da seccao 1.5. Concordo com a auditoria.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The holder may work for more than one employer, but the total hours for all employers cannot exceed 14 hours a week and each employer must hold a separate part-time permit. The official source does not state whether family can accompany the holder.

  • The policy does not address family, travel or residence rights for an Occasional Work Permit holder; the holder must already be resident in Bermuda.
  • chars 117792-118076
    Applications can be made for more than one employer to hire the same instructor or private tutor but the total number of hours for all employers cannot exceed 14 hours per week. Such an arrangement is permitted provided each employer has a separate part-time permit.

A work permit under this section may be granted for up to one year. The official source does not state a renewal rule or longer-term residence direction.

Limits of the record
  • Section 7.9 states no renewal procedure and no longer-term residence direction.
