Notes

Immigration Regulations, regulation 24(4), condition B. This is not a Permanent Residence Certificate. The PRC home route at USD 300,000 or USD 1,000,000, and the without-undertaking route at USD 1,000,000, are separate records. West Caicos is paired with Providenciales here. On the PRC home-undertaking route, West Caicos is in the higher USD 1,000,000 group. The permit fee is USD 1,500 plus a USD 150 administrative fee. A spouse or child endorsement is USD 500 plus USD 150. Dependants cannot work. The Director can take up to six weeks. Border Force's public permit page describes the Home Owner's Permit and does not restate these amounts. The Immigration Bill 2026 is not in force.
