With regard to the issue of Work Permits under the Immigration (Work Permits) (Jersey) Rules 1995, please advise how many have been granted over the past 4 years up until the end of 2024?

The latest information regarding how many people work in Jersey who have Registered status is included in the June 2024 Labour Market report found here: Labour market 2024.aspx. This report is published every 6 months.
Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.
