Population Management
The system of permits and certificates can be confusing, as there are a lot of different documents with similar names.
Broadly these split into two groups: your Immigration Permission (e.g. local, British Citizen, EEC Citizen with Settled Status, or a work permit / visa) and your Population Management document (e.g. Permanent Resident Certificate, Employment Permit, Resident Permit, or Status Declaration — often formerly known as Housing Licence).

| Permanent Guernsey Resident | Any accommodation | Status Declaration or Permanent Resident's Certificate | None |
