Many requests are received by the governor daily, for information on matters pertaining to the implementation of the Law on Admittance and Expulsion (LTU).
Enquiries are frequently also received regarding the status of the naturalization procedure and requests for temporary residence permits of foreign nationals residing on St. Maarten.
In order to fully comply with these requests for information, it has been decided to establish regular consultation hours during which complete and accurate response can be presented to persons with questions.
During the consultation hours, two judicial administrative staff members of the cabinet of the governor will be available for handling enquiries.
At that time, answers are to be provided to the relevant questions or will be forthcoming during a follow-up appointment.
All persons wishing to make use of the new arrangement are asked to take into consideration that each appointment lasts for a maximum of 15 minutes.
The consultation hours take place every first Tuesday of the month between the hours of 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m., at the Government Administration Building.
The first such session will be kicked off on Tuesday, February 3 upcoming.
Those interested are asked to make appointments at the reception desk of the Government Administration Building in Philipsburg.
Persons are requested to walk along with a valid ID form, such as a passport.
