Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (GENERICA: The value lists the character/health/insurance/financial requirements (s5-8) that apply to every visa. It names no population. The only WHO-specific element, s10.3(a) 'genuinely intend a temporary stay on Pitcairn for a lawful purpose', is left out. The quote is verbatim, and the earlier truncation defect is fixed.)

What circumstance, event, relationship, nomination, invitation or status activates access?

Access depends on an application decided by the Governor after consultation with the Island Council; the Governor must consider that granting the long-term visitor visa is in the public interest.

The holder may apply, before expiry, for an extension of up to six months by completing the approved form and paying the application fee.
