What it's NOT!

Free Movement of Skills is not a Right to Permanent Residency or Citizenship!

There are currently no rights regarding free movement solely for purposes of residency or permanent naturalization or citizenship. If a person wishes to migrate from one CARICOM state to live in another, he/she must still apply for residency or citizenship, in accordance with the laws of the host country.

The persons who are eligible for Free Movement of Skills / Labour must be engaged in some kind of legitimate economic activity in the CARICOM Single Market and Economy as either a wage earner or a non-wage earner.

Graduates

Graduates, for the purposes of free movement of skills, are persons who have obtained at least a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university or a professional qualification which is equivalent to at least a bachelor’s degree.

What is Free Movement of Skills/Labour?

One important category of persons who use the CSME for the purposes of engagement in gainful economic activity is skilled workers who work for a company or another person for a wage or salary or, who choose to work for themselves.

The term Free Movement of Skills / Labour is used to describe this category.

Free movement of skills / labour includes the right of a CARICOM National under Article 46 of the Revised Treaty; the Caribbean Community Skilled National's Act and the Immigration Laws of CARICOM Member States, without the need to obtain a work permit in the Member State in which he/she desires to work.
