We received a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) requesting the following:

  1. Approximation of how many work permit applications you process each week and how many of them are successful?

  2. When a work permit is granted does the Department of Trade and Industry make any further checks on those individuals after they enter the country on a granted work permit like, have they got good working conditions, the pay originally offered is being paid, have they actually taken up the position on offer, etc

We responded with the following information.
