Justice Minister Arthur Dowers and DIMAS director Kathy Ruiz-Paskel took part in a presentation with the AHATA board on recommendations for work permit policy in Aruba, Diario reported on October 16.
The groups exchanged ideas for a more effective, transparent and structured work permit policy, taking labor market needs and Aruba’s interests into account.
What’s at stake
Work permit policy sits at the intersection of Aruba’s labor market, its large tourism sector and immigration management. Hospitality employers, represented through AHATA, are directly affected by how quickly and predictably permits are handled.
What happens next
No decisions were announced from the meeting; the session was framed as an exchange of ideas and recommendations.
