Visitor Medical Advice
Visitors from the United Kingdom
Jersey has a reciprocal health agreement with the UK, which means that you're treated like a local resident while you're here. If you're visiting Jersey from the UK, it means that you're entitled to free hospital treatement while you're here.
Emergency care and hospital care is free, but if you need to see a GP (doctor) then you must pay (doctor visits are not free in Jersey). A link to a list of local GPs can be found at www.gov.je/Health/Travelling/Pages/VisitingJersey.
If you have been living (rather than visiting) in Jersey for less than 6 months, then you will have to pay for some healthcare.
Visitors from other countries
If you are visiting Jersey or have recently arrived to live or work here, your own country may have a reciprocal health agreement in place with Jersey. If it does, this may mean you can get certain healthcare treatments or services in Jersey free of charge. You should check the reciprocal agreements section before reading on.
For reciprocal health agreements with other countries please visit www.gov.je/Health/Travelling/Pages/VisitingJersey.
Visitors to Jersey from the UK are advised to have comprehensive health and travel insurance. Those with private health insurance are advised to check with their policy provider regarding health cover in Jersey.
