Exemptions aim to help e-business and ICT
A relaxation of work permit requirements for the Island's e-gaming sector came into effect at the start of this month.
The measure was approved by Tynwald after e-business companies said they were experiencing problems recruiting qualified workers.
The exemption, aimed at skilled, qualified or experienced workers offered a salary of no less than £25,000, also applies to potential recruits for ICT businesses.
Associate advocate at Gough Law Chiva Arthurs told Howard Caine the move is designed to help grow a vital part of the Manx economy:
Hospitality bosses to attend 'call to arms' meeting
Rate of inflation falls to 3.2%
Business will suffer 'significant' loss during the TT
TT merchandise provider makes upfront payment for contract
Hunt for new Steam Packet non-executives
Public disappointment after decision to sell ex-Newson's buildings
