Jersey falls within the UK’s Common Travel Area, along with the rest of the Channel Islands, Ireland and the Isle of Man. You do not need to complete the UK Government Travel Declaration Form for travel to the island. More information here.
- Ensure you have medical travel insurance in place.
- Complete a pre departure registration form.
Regions within the UK and Crown Dependencies are categorised into three bands (Green, Amber and Red) with different testing and isolation requirements when arriving into Jersey.
- Green - Day 0, Day 5 and Day 10 PCR tests (if still in Jersey): all passengers have to self-isolate on arrival while waiting the first negative test result. Results are currently expected to be returned within an average of 12 hours.
- Amber - Day 0, Day 5 and Day 10 PCR tests: Self-isolation until negative test result from your day 5 test.
- Red - Day 0, Day 5 and Day 10 PCR tests: Self isolation until negative test result from your day 10 test.
Visitors to Jersey can opt to provide evidence of a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test conducted in their country of departure, replacing the need for a Day 0 test. Full details of this option can be found here.
Anyone arriving in Jersey from the UK or the other Crown Dependencies, will have to provide their 14 day travel history in advance, through the online portal, and undertake PCR tests on arrival and on days 5 and 10 after arriving. Your 14 day travel declaration will show if you have slept in a green, amber or red region and this will apply on your arrival to Jersey. All other countries, including Ireland and mainland Europe, will remain under the red 10-day isolation regime.
The red, amber, green classifications will be reintroduced for travel to Jersey from all other destinations no earlier than Monday 17 May, when the United Kingdom reintroduces international travel.
Anyone whose test result is positive will have to isolate for 14 days, in line with Public Health guidance.
