Jolly Pirates

[jollypirates9394]

So, I am thinking about attending college in Aruba, but I would like to get a part time job if I go. I have been thinking about working for Jolly Pirates because I've been on the cruise before and it is just so much fun. Any ideas on how to get there or what you have to go through to be eligable to work there? Any info will be appreciated

If this is the case, a work permit may be granted BUT the employer MUST advertise the position every year until the foreign national can be replaced by an Aruban, meaning that your permit must be renewed and may be denied annually. This policy aims to limit unemployment for Arubans and is the exact same policy the American government has with regards to granting work based greencards. PLEASE NOTE: This policy applies to foreign nationals who are NOT born on Aruba, NOT the children of Aruban nationals, and/or NOT married to a Aruban OR if you are foreign national who has NOT been on the island for more than 5 years!'
