Thank you for your detailed and informed reply; it is the most authoritative (and convincing) I have received on any forum and am now confident of my eligibility to work on the island. I did, in fact, contact the agencies you referred to for specific employment information; not one replied.
Again, I appreciate your insights.
Sincerely,
Sandor
