It should also be noted that just because a 1(1)(j) consent is extended from a time limited to an unlimited basis, that does not necessarily mean the individual will remain permanently resident in the Island. Indeed, the 1(1)(j) population of the Island experiences a high turnover, with up to 40% of 1(1)(j) employees leaving in any one year.
