Persons interested in learning more about what services the IND provides can visit the Open House at its office on the A.T. Illidge Road 8A (next to NAPA) between 8:00am and Noon.
Staff will be available to answer questions and brochures will be on display and available to take-away as well.
IND is continuing its efforts to be able to offer additional and improved services required by country Sint Maarten where it relates to the new guidelines on admittance & expulsion, border and territorial control.
During the last quarter of 2011 the IND worked hard on one particular objective; to clear the backlog in admittance requests. The legal period for processing permits is four months however the IND reached its goal for 2012 during the first quarter reducing the processing time to two months.
The three main areas when carrying out its work are transparency, consistency and customer friendly service.
The IND would also like to further improve and develop its relationship with external stakeholders such as Embassies and other organizations that carry out similar responsibilities.
The IND is looking forward to meeting with those who require additional information during the Open House of August 3, 2012.
