MOD Personnel & Family - additional employment

MOD Personnel and their families based at Mount Pleasant Complex need to obtain a work permission when undertaking extra work in addition to their deployed role, or if working as a spouse of a deployed personnel, this could be seasonal, temporary or permanent work.

Whilst due to the nature of their presence in the Falkland Islands UK Armed Forces personnel, MOD Civilians, and their spouses are exempt from the provisions of the Falkland Islands Immigration Ordinance 1999, if they wish to carry out additional employment outside of this exemption they are required to notify Customs & Immigration and seek permission for further work by submitting a ‘Form 5b’.  

A ‘Form 5b’ can be obtained from the ‘For Employers’ section of this website. Further information can be obtained by contacting Customs & Immigration via the ‘contact us’ link on this website, or by calling 27340, or emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.
