Chris Thomas was answering a question on the wet-ink stamp in the House of Keys
Answering a visa-related question in the House of Keys this week, Chris Thomas said all three Crown Dependencies use the same immigration documents and are facing the same situation as the Island.
He added, however, that all three governments were working with the UK Home Office to develop digital immigration products that will help resolve the issues residents have been encountering.
The Douglas Central MHK says the Island is doing everything it can to support those affected:
Manx Care hopeful new offer will be accepted amid looming industrial action
Island-based Strix factory to close
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Bride Commissioners organise drop in session about NCAS funding
Second candidate declares for Douglas East
