Shakeup of system in force this week
Changes to the Island’s work permit system which come into force this week will still protect Manx workers.
That’s according to Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly, whose department administers the scheme.
He says discussions with industries and business on the Island showed there was a demand for some tweaks to the rules, which will come into force on Thursday.
Mr Skelly explained what it’ll mean for those applying for posts, as well as those trying to fill them:

No increase in domestic gas prices for rest of 2026
Law targeting sale of nicotine pouches takes step further
Procurement process for Kirk Onchan Post Office continuing
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
