WQ.370/2023

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY B.B.DE S.V.M. PORÉE OF ST. HELIER SOUTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 2nd OCTOBER 2023

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 9th OCTOBER 2023

Question

“Will the Minister explain the process within the Jersey Customs and Immigration Service when a work permit holder’s date of departure from the Island is either changed or overturned, particularly in terms of altering or removing the physical evidence of the original date from the individual’s passport?”

Answer

When a person’s immigration permission is cancelled, extended or varied, an endorsement to reflect the changed immigration permission and date stamp are placed in their passport. Previous endorsements are not altered or removed from a passport – this aligns with recognised immigration practices across the Common Travel Area (CTA).

An endorsement will only be amended where the issuing of the endorsement has been done in error - there is a prescribed way of doing this to signal to CTA jurisdictions that the error should not prejudice the holder.
