Jersey Cuts Permanent Entitled Residency Threshold to 25 Years, Eases Hiring Rules

Summary
25 years of continuous residence now qualifies long-term islanders for Permanent Entitled status in Jersey, down from the previous 30-year requirement under newly introduced residency and employment rules.
The government said the overhaul is meant to streamline outdated housing and work controls, letting islanders keep accrued residence after time away for work, study or family commitments.
Businesses also face shorter licence and staffing applications, clearer guidance and fewer information requirements as Jersey tries to make recruitment easier.
Other changes rename the former Registered status as Standard and create a Licensed for Lease Only category, allowing eligible people to rent qualified property without buying it.
