The actual criteria to get a permit doesn't seem too onerous [1].

There is a concessionary rate for the work permit levy if the household has young children, elderly, or disabled people though [2].

Those are the minimum requirements before you can apply. To actually get the Work Permit issued, you must justify your need to MoM.
