Launch of the new Falkland Islands immigration system

From today, 1 September 2021, changes to the Immigration Ordinance 1999, and the introduction of the Immigration (General) Regulations 2021 come into effect. Also coming into force today is the Immigration (PRP) (Amendment) Regulations 2021.

Information, the new permit application forms and attending guidance can be found on the Customs & Immigration website; please visit www.fig.gov.fk/customs

The changes will ensure that the Falkland Islands has an immigration system that is efficient and effective, able to meet the current and future needs of the Islands, while safeguarding employment opportunities for the permanent population.
