    Traveling salespersons are not permitted to visit Bermuda to sell products without first obtaining a Periodic Permit.

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

Applications are accepted only from a local business acting as an agent or from the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber screens each application to decide whether the product is already represented by a local firm and whether the permit would threaten that firm's interests or, where the product is not yet available on the island, which businesses would be interested and sets up appointments with them.

Limits of the record
  • Li a seccao 2.4 por inteiro. Nao ha ocupacao definida para alem de 'travelling salesperson' (que e r1), nem qualificacoes, experiencia, salario ou nivel de competencia. A triagem do produto pela Camara de Comercio e uma condicao de mercado, mas ja esta dentro da resposta de r2. O que estava aqui era 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?

Applications are accepted only from a local business acting as an agent or from the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce, and the permit carries restrictions as deemed appropriate by the Department upon recommendation by the Chamber.
