Work Permit Exemption: Documents and Procedure
This page covers the exemption filing. Service and pricing: work permit service.
Documents
- Employer written request on the prescribed form
- Proof of the exemption ground — charter and capital documents, board resolution, transfer decision, service contract or assignment letter
- Passport copy of the foreigner
- Documents proving qualifications or role where the ground requires it
- Foreign documents consularly legalised and translated — see legalisation
Where and when
Filed with the provincial labour authority (or the authority delegated in the locality) before the work starts, generally at least 3 working days in advance for short assignments. Confirmation is usually issued within 3–5 working days of a complete file.
Validity
The confirmation follows the assignment or role and is capped at two years, like a permit. Renewal follows the same process.
After the confirmation
- Apply for an LD1 visa or convert the current visa — see LD requirements.
- Apply for the LD residence card for the confirmed period.
