HAMILTON, Bermuda, CMC – The Bermuda government says it will not be renewing the work permits of “guest workers” unless they sign a declaration outlining they have no residency status in the British Overseas Territory.
Home Affairs Minister Michael Fahy said that the Immigration Department would be adopting a “more aggressive” stance on the issue.
The new One Bermuda Alliance (OBA) government earlier this year announced the abolition of the work permit term limit, but at the same time introduced a document that should be signed by foreiogn workers indicating that they have expectation of obtaining residency rights in Bermuda.
