What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?
Permanent residence is granted at the Governor’s discretion, subject to conditions and presentation of an unexpired, uncancelled Inland Revenue certificate of good standing. Dependants may be endorsed on application. After grant, continuous absence for more than three years is a ground for revocation; criminal imprisonment and public-interest grounds also apply. Notice and an opportunity to be heard are required. The published fee options are annual EC$1,000, two-year EC$2,000 or three-year EC$2,500, plus EC$150 processing.
