Official wording

(9) Despite this section, an immigration officer shall grant a permit— (a) for a citizen of protocol Member State to enter and remain in Montserrat for an indefinite period; and (b) for a citizen of any other member state of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States landing in Montserrat from any place beyond Montserrat to enter and remain in Montserrat for a period of six months.

Aevamo’s reading

The Immigration Act (Cap. 13.01) creates the entry obligation: s.17(1)(b) requires a visaed passport of every person not within s.17(1)(a), and s.17(2) authorises the Governor in Cabinet to exempt classes by Order; the Immigration (Visa Exemption) Order (S.R.O. 46/2013) made under it is the instrument granting the exemption, and s.22 sets the stay. The department's website lists describe this law rather than creating it.

Section 22(9)(a) obliges an immigration officer to grant a citizen of an OECS protocol Member State a permit to enter and remain in Montserrat for an indefinite period; Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines are the six OECS protocol member states in the roster other than Montserrat itself, so their citizens enter and remain without limit.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
