    Can u tell me if you need a work permit to supervise a project? If i want to supervise construction of a new home,but do not intend to do any of the labor, do i need a work permit?

    • Yes, you will need a work permit.
      As a tourist you are not allowed to work while on Aruba. You could face serious consequences including deportation if you are caught. In addition your employer could face a severe financial penalty.
