Are "permission to reside" and "residency" the same thing? I'm hearing they're not, and that only the latter are allowed in at this point. No idea when we'll be able to get back to our house.
They are not the same thing. Permanent Residency is a step to becoming a Belonger and there is a card and official number issued with it. Permission to reside comes with a passport stamp and basically carries extra immigration permissions over a land holder and must be renewed each year.
Residency referenceThe above reference explains the requirements for Permission to Reside, among them that the applicant, "Will not engage in or seek to engage in any employment in the BVI".
So I'm just curious -- I wonder if that includes working remotely at a job based elsewhere. For example, all the people currently working from home because of Covid 19 -- would it be legal for them to do their work while residing in the BVI?
