Can I work in Jamaica?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Work permit after the employer shows it tried to hire a Jamaican first; no salary floor, points test or IT shortage list is published.
Before you apply: Usually no licence. Some employers ask for vendor certificates (AWS, Microsoft, Cisco); signing audit reports needs a registered auditor.
Watch for: Chartered accountants also need a Public Accountancy Board certificate. Non-Commonwealth passports (US, Nepal, Philippines, Indonesia, most of the EU) also need a work visa before arrival.
