An application in respect of the above named was received in the Employment Permits Section on 2 December 2008. This application was refused on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence that the position could not be filled from within the EEA. In this regard, the required newspaper advertisements for three days in both local and national newspapers were not submitted in support of the application.
The applicant was notified of this decision in writing by letter dated 9 January 2009 and of their right to appeal within 21 days. No such appeal was received in the Employment Permits Section. Should the prospective employer or employee wish to make a new application for a work permit, it will be considered on its merits.
