I understand that the employment permit in respect of the above named expired on the 9/9/2009 and my Department has no record of a renewal application being submitted. The scheme provides is that a renewal application must be submitted 8-12 weeks prior to the expiry of the existing permit.

However, if the prospective employer or employee wishes to submit a new application it will be considered on its merits.
