On April 28, 2025, the Department of Enterprise, Tourism, and Employment (DETE) introduced a new employment permit online system. The changes aim to improve the user experience and efficiency for employers and employees when submitting, reviewing, and tracking their employment permit application status. Further, the deployment of the new system signifies a broader milestone in immigration digital transformation.

The key features of the system include:
A dedicated account for employers and employees.
A two-factor authentication system to enhance security.
The ability for electronic signatures on applications
The ability to track application progress
What to expect?
All previously submitted applications have successfully migrated to the new system.
Any outstanding application drafts are being cancelled and need to be redrafted.
Delays in processing submitted applications should be anticipated.
Some technical issues and system bugs have been identified. Future Direct is actively engaging with DETE for updates.
