This is as a result of an increase in volume of applications and complexity. </h4><h4>The team at the Population Management Office can be contacted by phone on +44(0)1481 225790 (Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm) or by email at <a href="mailto:population@gov.gg">population@gov.gg</a>. </h4><h4>Rest assured a person is covered to live and work in Guernsey (subject to immigration), as long as there is an application submitted in their name. Should someone such as a landlord or employer need to see proof of a person's ability to live and work in Guernsey whilst their application is being processed, a Discretionary Resident Permit - (Temporary) can be requested and issued by email.</h4><h4>To help the team manage the volume of calls and emails, it is encouraged that any queries about pending applications should wait until around 8-12 weeks after their submission.</h4><p class="snippet">Generally everyone working and/or living in the island of Guernsey requires a Permit or Certificate issued by the Population Management Office under the Population Management Law. These 'paperless' Permits and Certificates give people the right to live and work in Guernsey, alongside <a href="https://www.gov.gg/immigration">Immigration Clearance</a> from the Guernsey Border Agency.</p><p>The Population Management Law regulates the size and make-up of Guernsey's population. The Law is designed to make sure that the island has the right mix of people supporting our economy and community now and also for the future.</p><p>It aims to support local businesses by providing <abbr title="A document issued to a person who is not a householder and who has conditions attached to their ability to live in Guernsey.">Permits</abbr> designed for specific jobs, allowing us to attract a diverse range of skilled people where needed to strengthen Guernsey's workforce.</p><p>It also determines who can live in certain accommodation. Guernsey's properties are primarily split into two 'Housing Markets' the <abbr title="Any dwelling other than an Open Market dwelling.">Local Market </abbr>and the <abbr title="A sub-set of Guernsey's housing stock that can be occupied by people who are not entitled to live in Local Market accommodation.">Open Market</abbr> (visit our <a href="https://www.gov.gg/pmfaq">FAQ Page</a> to find out more).</p><p>The Population Management Office operates a completely 'paperless' system for Permits and Certificates. All applications are made using our online service the 'Population Portal'.</p><hr /><p class="aligncentre"><strong>If you are new to Guernsey, or are thinking of relocating here please visit our <a
