Potential considerations
The Department may, but does not have to, take the following extra matters into account in deciding whether or not to grant a permit.
'The person concerned' means the person for whom an application is made.
Economic circumstances
- In the case of a self-employed person, the number of individuals already engaged in the employment in question in the Island.
Additional considerations regarding the employer
- The number of Isle of Man workers employed by the applicant as a percentage of the total number of persons employed by the employer.
- Whether the wages and conditions offered are less favourable than those normally applying in the particular trade or occupation in the Isle of Man.
- Any career development policy or rotation policy of the applicant.
Additional considerations regarding the person concerned
- If the person concerned engages or intends to engage in a construction trade, whether he or she is suitably qualified to do so and holds a relevant skills card, as may be specified by the Department.
- The ability of the person concerned to speak English.
