What is Permanent Residency?

Created by Chari Johnson, Modified on Thu, 07 Dec 2023 at 08:01 AM by Delly Vassell

Permanent Residency allows a foreign national to live and work in Jamaica without restrictions on their stay, without submitting an application for a work permit or Jamaican citizenship. They are not afforded the same constitutional rights as a Jamaican citizen.
