A — Temporary Work Permit - Type A (Permiso de Trabajo Temporal)

The Temporary Work Permit (Type A) is a specific authorization designed for foreign nationals hired for short-term projects, seasonal work, or temporary assignments in Equatorial Guinea. Unlike long-term work visas, this permit is valid for six months and is renewable, making it ideal for consultants, project-based contractors, or specialists brought in for specific technical tasks. The permit is tied to the sponsoring employer, who must ensure that all labor laws are followed and that the foreign worker is properly registered with the relevant ministries during their stay.

This permit is for individuals who do not intend to settle permanently but need legal authorization to perform paid work for a limited duration. The application process requires the employer to submit documentation detailing the nature of the work and the necessity of the foreign hire. As with other work-related authorizations, the applicant must meet health and security standards, including providing a clean criminal record and passing a medical exam. It is a critical document for companies that need to mobilize international staff quickly for short-term operational needs while maintaining full compliance with Equatorial Guinean labor and immigration authorities.
