and as an American, it is basically impossible on either side.
unless you have a special skill and get an employer to hire you and file for you.

As mentioned above, if you are American and don't have an extra special skill, forget it.

Barbara and/or Elaine,

Even if you have that 'special skill' isn't there some sort of prerequisite where the employer has to apply for you prior to your being 'on' island? Or something along those lines? I remember reading something a while back but the totality of it escapes me now.

Respectfully,

pat

yes, Pat. by law, the employer files for you. then when the papers are approved you may enter the island legally. It can take up to a year to get papers approved, as Elaine well knows LOL
