Passports and Customs

British citizens and citizens of the Irish Republic do not require passports or entry visas to visit Jersey. However, they will require passports if they wish to travel onward to France.

Other EU citizens require only their ID cards for entry to Jersey. Citizens from non-EU countries will need a passport and should check before travelling to the Island whether a visa is required.

Please note that any passenger flying between the UK and the Channel Islands will need valid photographic ID in order to travel.
