Who qualifies?
To be eligible to buy a short stay visitor permit you must be a resident in a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) and be aged 18 or over.
Please note that if you are landlord of a property and not residing in it, you are not eligible to buy visitors permits. You can however, apply for a Trader's Permit to allow you to park near the property. Trader's Permits can be found on the Trader's Permits page.

- If you are not visiting a particular resident you cannot get a visitor’s parking permit and you should not pay another person to use a resident visitor permit.
- However, you can buy a pay by phone parking session from a pay by phone machine and park in a pay by phone bay or shared use bay for up to two hours. You must buy a session that is valid for the whole of the time you wish to park.

How to use your visitor permit
Visitor permits may only be given to those calling at the permit holder's address. It is the householder's responsibility to ensure that their permit is retrieved from a visitor's vehicle at the end of their stay. All permits must be displayed clearly in the windscreen of the vehicle.
Please note that visitor permits are not valid when a suspension is in force for where the vehicle is parked. Parking places are suspended by us and on occasions the Police. Suspension notices are displayed within parking places where existing signs advise what type of bay it is and who may park there.
Each time you park or drive away your vehicle it is recommended that you check for displayed yellow suspension signs. These yellow suspension signs will have clearly displayed information advising of the start and end dates for a suspension. Vehicles may not park on the dates the suspension is in force and within the area specified on the suspension sign. Any vehicles parked in a suspended parking place may be issued a penalty notice and if necessary removed to our car pound.
