Why applications on this route get refused
Position not advertised, and no Minister's exemption
The application must show either that the position was advertised (with a copy of the advertisement) or that the Minister exempted the employer from advertising it. Missing both doesn't meet the application's requirements.
How to avoid it: Advertise the position and keep a copy of the advertisement, or get a written exemption from the Minister before applying.
A qualified Anguillian or resident applicant wasn't properly addressed
If a qualified Anguillian, their spouse, or another person legally and ordinarily resident on Anguilla applied for the advertised position, the employer must explain in writing why the job wasn't given to them.
How to avoid it: If any qualifying local applicants came forward, have your employer document who they were and give a clear, honest explanation for the hiring decision.
Unpaid $300 application processing fee
Every work permit application, including one that ends up being zero-rated, needs the non-refundable $300 application processing fee paid.
How to avoid it: Pay the $300 application processing fee when you submit the application.
Not meeting the condition of good character
Every work permit holder is subject to a condition of good character and of demonstrating a positive contribution to Anguillian society, along with any other condition the Minister considers necessary.
How to avoid it: Be ready to answer the form's questions about any past criminal convictions, outstanding arrest warrants, or deportation history honestly and completely.
