Rules have been simplified to make it easier for businesses to recruit staff in Jersey.
Forms for business licences have been made clearer, and staffing applications are now shorter.
In another change, people who've been resident for 25 years or more can now apply for 'Permanent Entitled' status, down from 30 years.
The changes also provide greater flexibility to spend time away from the island for work, study, or family reasons, without losing the time they've built up.
People with 'Registered' status are now known as 'Standard', but the government says you don't need to apply for a new card, and employers don't have to change how they employ people with this status.
A new 'Licenced for Lease Only' status only allows eligible people to rent qualified property without being able to buy it.
Assistant Chief Minister, Deputy Malcolm Ferey, said:
"These changes will streamline Jersey’s outdated housing and work controls – lightening the administrative burden for businesses and giving Islanders more flexibility to pursue opportunities outside of Jersey without losing the residence they have built up."
