Where an employment permit application is refused, it is open to an applicant to submit a request for a review to be conducted. Under the provisions of the legislation, a decision made under review is final and cannot be revisited.

If the conditions that gave rise to the refusal in the first instance change thereafter, it is open to an applicant to submit a new employment permit application for consideration. It is not possible to ascertain the number of applications of this nature.
