移民部将于 2022 年 1 月 1 日开始根据修订后的立法的规定接受申请。
2021 Amendment
2021 年修正案允许某些长期居民申请永久居民证。
Government’s proposal aims to address this issue by expanding the eligibility criteria for the granting of PRC under section 31A, to include any person who has been ordinarily resident in Bermuda for at least 20 years. While the policy paper states that this change is aimed at assisting “Persons who have continuously worked in Bermuda and seek to continue to make Bermuda their home“, it does not appear that having worked (as opposed to merely having resided) in Bermuda will be a condition of acceptance, although the amending legislation remains to be seen.
The cost of the PRC application under section 31A is also to be reduced, from $50,000 to $10,000.
This change will be beneficial for LRT work permit holders, as well as their employers, who would no longer need to renew their work permits and pay the related fees.
The policy paper also sets out proposed changes to assist mixed-status families, under which the following categories of people will now be eligible for PRC:
These changes will assist, amongst others, non-Bermudian parents of Bermudian children, who would otherwise have had to leave the island after their child’s 18th birthday, and second-generation PRC holders who are currently unable to pass PRC on to their children.
The current application fee for a PRC under section 31B will remain at $3,150.
The aforementioned changes are to be read in conjunction with the requirements given below.
