Actually, Antony, you don't have to be unable to hire a Bonairean before hiring a Dutchman. You can hire someone with a Dutch passport without any special procedures at all.

Just to clarify mr williams statement, a Dutch passport holder can work here for 3 months but at the end of that time, the do have to give proof of good conduct, good health, copies of their work contract and a few other requirements. There are some other formalities,but it is far easier for them than say US or South Americans to work here.

If you check out this weeks Bonaire Reporter, you will see that new legislation has come in to make it even more difficult for non skilled persons to work on Bonaire.

I find it curious that if you hold a EU passport you cannot work here without the whole process that Michael describes. I hold a US and EU passport and still must do extensive paperwork. In turn if I live in Holland or ANY EU country I do not need to go thru the same process. Odd eh??

My understanding is that one of the major discussion points on the "direct ties to Holland" discussion is what to do with our work permit system. We have a lot of permits issued to people from adjacent countries that would have a hard time getting permits under Dutch law, and a lot of obstacles in the way of permits that would be virtually automatic under Dutch law.

I only need one. If you want, you could let Practical Classics know that the owner of the only Morris Minor pickup in South America would be happy to be the star of a feature article ...

Hi Kevin.

Absolutely. More than happy to send a package occasionally with the latest copies; I send packages down every couple of months, but as you said, cheaper than a few hundred quid and a couple of days to get one.

Maybe the Airport shop would be a better bet as many English speaking tourists and transit passengers go through there.......
