9. (1) Where the holder of an entry permit of any of the classes A to C ceases to engage in the employment in respect of which the entry permit was issued, the employer specified in the entry permit shall report in writing such cessation to the Chief Immigration Officer within a period of seven days from the date in which the holder ceased to engage in the employment, and the holder shall on demand hand up his passport to the Chief Immigration Officer for endorsement.
10. (1) The Chief Immigration Officer may require the employer of any person issued with an entry permit of class A, class B or class C to furnish a return in Form 19 in the First Schedule hereto of all persons who are in his employment or have been in his employment.
The engagement in the offered employment must be of benefit to Eswatini. The entry-permit application notes state that entry permits are issued to non-citizens with skills not currently available on the Eswatini labour market, on the understanding that effective training programmes produce trained citizens within a specified period.
whose engagement in that employment will be of benefit to Swaziland.
(a) It is the Government policy that the economy of Swaziland should be manned by trained and competent citizens. Entry Permits are issued to non-citizens with skills not available at present on the Swaziland Labour Market, only on the understanding that effective training programmes are undertaken to produce trained citizens within a specified period.
Work is limited to the employment for which the permit was issued: ceasing it, or engaging in any other employment, occupation, trade, business or profession without written approval of an immigration officer, invalidates the permit. A married woman living with her husband who holds a dependant's pass and a Class B permit keeps that dependant's pass valid for its unexpired period whether she engages in or ceases the Class B employment.
(1) Where an entry permit, other than an entry permit of class I or J has been issued to a person, and that person, without having obtained the written approval of an immigration officer — (a) has failed to engage, within fourteen days of the date of issue of the entry permit or such other period as may be specified on the permit, or of that per- son’s entry into Swaziland, whichever is the later, in the employment, occu- pation, trade, business or profession in respect of which that entry permit was issued; or
(b) has ceased to engage in the said employment, occupation, trade, business or profession; or (c) has engaged in any employment, occupation, trade, business or profession, whether or not for remuneration or profit, other than the said employment, occupation, trade, business or profession, that entry permit shall thereupon cease to be valid
Provided that nothing in this regulation shall render invalid a dependant’s pass issued in respect of a married woman who is living with her husband and who has been issued with an entry permit of class B and such dependant’s pass shall, subject to the provisions of the Act, be of full force and effect for the unexpired period of its validity notwithstanding that such married woman engages in any employment under the entry permit or has ceased to engage in such employment.
The period of validity of an entry permit is at the discretion of the Chief Immigration Officer; it may be renewed for further periods on payment of the renewal fee, but may not be issued or renewed for a period exceeding five years from the date of issue. As a longer-term direction, the Act's Class J entry permit covers a person resident in Eswatini for a continuous period of ten years who has khonta'd under Swazi law and custom and has applied for, and not been refused, full Swazi citizenship.
The period of validity of any entry permit shall be at the discretion of the Chief Immi- gration Officer but may be renewed for further periods on the payment of the renewal fee specified in the Second Schedule hereto: Provided that an entry permit shall not be issued or renewed for a period exceeding five years from the date of issue.
