How do I get a work permit issued?

A work

permit is effective once an invoice has been paid. The Letter of Authorization is sent to the Licensee. It is prohibited to start a licensed activity until such time as a licence has entered into force. The validity of work permits for activities subject to work permits only under the food legislation is untimely, while other work permits are issued for a period of 12 years. Temporary work permits such as for demolitions, outdoor festivals and markets are also issued.
