NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Permits for Haitian citizens to reside in The Bahamas will be put under intense scrutiny, as the Minister of Labour and Immigration, Friday, announced existing and new permits will only be granted “in the most exceptional circumstances.”
During a press conference, Friday, Bell explained that new work permits for Haitian citizens in The Bahamas have also been put on hold with immediate effect.
This comes after Prime Minister Philip Davis, Thursday, ordered an “immediate involuntary departure from Haiti for all diplomatic personnel” as soon as security conditions permit.
Prior to Thursday, there was a voluntary departure order in place, and all staff at The Bahamas Embassy in Haiti chose to stay.
According to the statement, this is a temporary measure in light of recent developments in Haiti.
“The Charge reported that they had been stopped by Haitian police and relieved of their vehicle and weapons. This is part of a protest by the Haitian National Police against their own authorities.”
