This is one I have to respond to. Why in the world would one invest in Sint Maarten and allow a Government or anyone else tell them they cannot have residency? No one is going to take my money and tell me when I can leave and when I can go or should leave or go. When I first came to Sint Maarten I spent nearly a half million dollars and of course more while being here. I am at the moment off Island, but again until Sint Maarten gets a responsible Government no investor is going to come in and invest money and loose their freedom of coming and going, Now back to the job situation: I have ran ads in the Herald for employees and the ad stated Antilleans preferred or legal working papers. Guess what? Only 2% that applied or showed any interest in working where they could make alot of money were Antilleans. Education is the solution and a smile and thank you would be since Sint M aarten relys on Tourism.
Permits?
