A retired couple living in Nassau, Bahamas found top domestic helper agency Hong Kong – 1MaidHK.com and placed a live-in maid job order.
The job offer consists of 5-day work, free food, accommodation and airticket to Bahamas and four weeks paid annual leave upon completion of 2 years contract. Good news ! The much awaited Bahamas work permit has finally been approved.

During the application process in Bahamas, the employer is required to post an advertisement in local newspaper. An important part of the requirement is to show that there is no suitable Bahamian candidate for the live-in maid position. The processing of Bahamas work permit took approximately 2-3 months from the time the job offer was confirmed. For the live-in maid category, the employer paid an annual fee of $650 for the work permit.
The Bahamas work permit is valid for one year from date of issue, measures 5 inches x 7.75 inches and is light yellow green in color. The top of the work permit read as “Permit to engage in gainful occupation”. Other information such as live-in maid’s name, employer’s name, employer’s residence address as well as the applicant’s photo can be found in the work permit.
Those who are planning to enter through USA enroute to Bahamas is required to apply for a transit visa. The procedure and requirements is actually the same as US non-immigrant visa application.
