A Temporary Resident Permit or TRP can be obtained by the Immigration department for those interested in residing in the islands without the right to work for a limited period of time, generally up to one-year. Changeover from a TPR to a work permit is not permitted. Children up to age 18 and spouses can be endorsed on a TRP. Individuals above the age of 18 are eligible to apply for a Work Permit in the islands. The permit allows for lawful residency and right to work within a restricted category within the islands. A Permanent Residence Permit can also be issued with or without the right to work, but is a one-time application. Should be noted that obtaining a PRC with the right to work has more requirements (10 consecutive work permits / 10 completed years of work permits) then a PRC without the right to work that can be obtained through investment which varies depending on the island that you are wishing to reside.
