It appears that from the very beginning, this hi-tech visa was only to be made available for citizens of countries that are exempt from applying for a visitor\u2019s visa, such as the United States and countries belonging to the European Union. Nevertheless, citizens of countries such as China and India were obviously able to receive this hi-tech visa, according to the Population Authorities own statistics. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Population Authority accounts this as a procedural error, as the hi-tech visas should only be granted to countries falling under the exemption of requesting tourist visas. However, this can make things difficult for employers needing experts from these countries, as the Population Authority intends to not grant hi-tech visas to citizens of countries such as China and India. In addition, requests to extend the visa of an existing employee are directed to go through the lengthier process of 6 to 8 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n
