Hi everyone
I am french and I got a job on a resort as a guest relation officer.
I am supposed to start on April, 1st.
My employer submitted my application for work visa on March,16
Any chance I can get it on time ? Do you know if the administration is very busy now ?
On the official government website, they say it takes 1-2 days to get the employment approval and then 2-3 days for the work visa. What do you think ?

Thank you for your help

hi,

those are the normal formality if everything is submitted on time and if all documents are accurate. with the current process i would say not to worry about it, and you shall be able to fly on 1st april.
