Cayman Net News: Employers can appeal work permit refusal

Employers can appeal work permit refusal

Tuesday, November 29, 2005

Employers who have had their requests for work permits for their employees turned down may appeal the decision of the Work Permit Board (WPB).

However, there is no guarantee that the Immigration Appeals Tribunal, which will hear the complaint, would overturn the WPB’s decision.

Under Section 15 of the Immigration Law (2003 Revision), employers have the right to appeal to the Immigration Appeals Tribunal within 28 days after being notified of the refusal.

Appeal should be made in writing and should be addressed to the Secretary of the Appeals Tribunal.

A non-refundable processing fee of $250 should accompany the appeal letter.

Payment of this processing fee must be done so by personal or manager’s cheque made payable to the Cayman Islands Government. Payment in cash will not be accepted.
