A supported job can allow a foreign worker to live temporarily on Pitcairn when their skills and proposed employment serve the island's public interest. The Governor decides after consulting the Island Council, with health, character and financial or sponsorship evidence included.
Applicants should arrange the application before travel together with transport, housing and required medical-evacuation cover. The visa normally covers six months, with a possible extension of up to six more. A local offer alone does not authorize work or promise settlement.
