If you've been to a resort that we work with before, but not through Resort Leaders, and have secured yourself a job at a resort (whether it be your previous resort or a new one) this section is for you.

How do I return to a resort if I haven't been through Resort Leaders before?

Start a new Resort Leaders profile, contact our team and let us know that you have been to a resort before. We will then change your application over to a returnee first-timer profile and give you the next steps.

The Resort Leaders returner application process is fast and easy to complete. Ensure that you fill out the entire application as soon as possible so that we can process your visa sooner rather than later.

Do I still need to submit Resort Leaders references if I've secured my returner job at the resort already?

Yes. It is a Department of State requirement to have three professional references. Your three referees need to have known you for over six months, can’t be a relative and should be one of the following:

  • Employer/Supervisor
  • Teacher
  • Coach
  • Lecturer
