  Filipina maid in Hong Kong receives Bahamas work permit

Hong Kong Island is an idyllic island in Last year, a retired couple in their 50's living in Nassau, Bahamas found 1MaidHK.com, the internet marketing arm of World Champ International Employment Agency through the internet 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.
Lorena, the lucky applicant among 4 candidates, is now very excited to work in Bahamas after receiving the work permit and air ticket from her Bahamas employer. “Don't easily give up amidst trial, grab every job opportunity for your family's future and apply through reliable agency -- World Champ International Employment Agency”, advises Lorena.

The employer files the application in Bahamas and part of the requirement is to show that there is no suitable Bahamian candidate for the position. This includes advertising in newspapers. The processing of Bahamas work permit took approximately 5-6 months from the time the job offer was confirmed. Work permit fees range from $350 to $10,000 per year depending on the category. For the live-in maid category, the employer paid $650 work permit fee.

Applicant who wish to enter through USA enroute to Bahamas is required to apply for a transit visa. The procedure and requirements of application is actually the same as US non-immigrant visa. Though the cost is considerably less to travel through the US, however, this does not guarantee that you'll have the transit visa application approved. Other travel options to avoid transit visa problem is to fly either from HK to Bahamas via London or from Hong Kong to Bahamas via Canada.
