I am a bit confused about the potential for employment in SXM for spouses...from the information previously posted in this forum, the government in St. Maarten is cracking down on illegitimate workers (i.e., people being paid under the table and not paying taxes). My understanding from MEIO and other sources is that in order to work in SXM, you need a work visa, something that can't be obtained unless you've been on the island for one year, or are "sponsored" by an employer. My wife (a Medical Technologist) called St. Maarten Medical Center to get information about potential employment to no avail. I understand that she may be able to work out something with the university that may not pay much (but alleviate boredom!), but I'm curious to know what other employment opportunities are available for spouses of AUC students.
Aloha,
