Last year, a couple 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 was too hard for any filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong to resist. It consists of 5-day work, free food, accommodation and airticket to Bahamas and four weeks paid annual leave upon completion of 2 years contract. And the good news is that 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 2-3 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.

The size of the Bahamas work permit is approximately 5 inches x 7.75 inches, light yellow green in color and got one year validity from date of issue. The top of the work permit read as “Permit to engage in gainful occupation”. Information such as job position, employer’s name,employer’s residence address, live-in maid’s name as well as the applicant’s photo can also be found in the work permit.

Those who are planning to enter through USA enroute to Bahamas is required to apply for a transit visa. The procedure and requirements is actually the same as US non-immigrant visa application. Inorder to avoid the transit visa problem, some Bahamas employer has to face the fact of buying a more expensive ticket from HK via London enroute to Bahamas.

Many lives have been transformed after the launching of 1MaidHK.com in a short span of time. It is believed that many more life changing job opportunity awaits many filipino domestic helpers in Hong Kong who dares to face the challenges of working abroad in the days to come.
