Working in the Cook Islands

It is difficult to find legal work on the Cook Islands, you normally need to be able to fill a position which no Cook Islander is able to fill. If you have a unique skill and can get an offer of employment you may wish to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration in Avarua about a work permit. You can write to them at:

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration

PO Box 105

Avarua

Rarotonga

Cook Islands

Because the Cook Islands is such a small place, it is hard to work under the table without being caught.
