Immigrants who want to work in the country for a period longer than 90 days must apply for a work permit. The work permit is bound to one employer and position and changing jobs means you will have to apply for a new permit as it loses its validity. The employer is responsible for the cost of the application and the process takes about two weeks.
There is also a permit for self-employed immigrants and to apply expats must first have a temporary residence permit.
