Economy and labour ministry releases immigration policies
Two policy documents have been released to clarify permissions to reside in Bermuda.
Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, who released the guidelines, said they would strengthen Bermuda’s immigration system by “ensuring clarity, fairness and accountability”.
He explained: “They provide certainty for residents and their families, while protecting the integrity of our immigration framework.
“With these measures, the Government is reinforcing its commitment to a balanced system that is transparent, responsible and safeguards the interests of Bermuda and its people.”
Permissions to Reside in Bermuda outlines guidelines for non-Bermudian students who wish to attend Bermuda College and those looking to reside annually.
It explains eligibility, application requirements, residency conditions, renewal procedures and enforcement measures.
Partner Residence Application Guidelines provide a framework for partners of Bermudians, Permanent Resident’s Certificate holders and work permit holders.
It defines what a partner and sponsor is under the law, sets out financial and character requirements and makes sure that “genuine” relationships are recognised, according to a ministry spokesman.
Both guidelines are available on the government website.
