Yes. Go to town hall and apply for a trade license, they will tell you how much it will be.

I need work permit for a trade license

Please can me somebody help with it ? Or write everything about this process. Somebody who have experiences with this. Thanks

You need to go to the labour office beside Wings and fill out an application.

When we first came they would not give us a trade licence without a work permit. They would not give us a work permit without a trade licence, that was along time ago. We had to get a letter from the Town Council stating we would get a trade licence when they give us a work permit, I hope things have changed over the years. LOL

We got our Work permits and Trade Licenses in 2012. And it went pretty much like Inplub says above.... However, much of doing business here is like that..... Golf cart permit needs insurance, can't get insurance without the golf cart permit..... We learned to visit each office daily until one or the other finally gave us permission..... It gets even more interesting when applying for Residency..... Bring lots of patience.....
