Good morning fellow posters. I attended an arranged meeting with a good friend and his lawyer yesterday at the dept of immigration, where he is going through the application process for residency, his first application. Didn't go well as his lawyer advised that his application could not be processed as he is here on Island, and would need to apply for a "visa" in the UK, then comeback here and make the application, hence anyone know the current regulations or confirm whether or not the new regulations muted last year are now being enforced.
a) Do you need to be outwith the Country to apply for a visa to start the process of residency ?
On a similar matter, what is the process for applying for work permits for supervisory roles short term say 6 months to 1 year, ie, application, cedula requirement, national insurance registration for deduction of Tax and NI etc. any ideas on typical costs. It was thought that residency would be simpler, but if the guys need to return to Canada or the UK for visas from their current location in NAssau, Bahamas, it makes things difficult.
Thanks in anticipation.
