Work permit restrictions eased for barbers and bartenders
Barbers have returned to the list of open job categories in the latest update to extend a moratorium on new work permits for certain types of employment.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Economy and Labour said that the change was made because barbershops were unable to fill vacancies.
General bartenders have moved from the closed list back to the restricted list.
The spokesman said that the latest extension to the moratorium on new work permits for closed category jobs was effective from August 1 for five months, ending on December 31, 2022.
