Who should pay for the work permit - employer or employee?
last updated 9th February 2010
There is no rule or law stating who is responsible for payment. Sometimes it’s the employee that forks out but in most cases it’s the employer. Rumors abound that there will be a considerable price increase for work permits in 2010 so this is sure to become more of an issue if that happens.
