Jersey

Jersey is the perfect place to restore your balance closer to home. For short breaks and long lazy summer holidays, reconnect with loved ones from the sunniest spot in the British Isles as you explore this special island.

The Visit Safe Charter ensures there’s no need to be concerned about visiting – strict safety measures are in place across the island, with mandatory Covid-19 testing on arrival.

Embrace your own beach, head off the beaten track, and reconnect with landscapes that are just waiting to be explored. For those seeking relaxation, enjoy uncrowded outdoor and wellness activities. Or for the more adventurous, there’s everything from coasteering into a protected cove or taking a leisurely cycle, exploring caves in a kayak or practising yoga in an 800-year-old castle.

You’ll be surrounded by great food in Jersey, where fresh seafood is caught daily and Jersey Royals are never far from your fork.

Your customers can come and find their balance here – it’s why we’re known as the little island with a big spirit.

Can British travellers visit Jersey?

As of January 4, visitors to Jersey who are fully vaccinated do not need to submit evidence of a PCR test or take a PCR test on arrival. For visitors aged 18 and over, fully vaccinated means they must have had two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine, plus a booster dose more than 14 days before arrival. For those under 18, this means two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine more than 14 days before arrival.

Visitors who aren’t fully vaccinated must submit evidence of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of arriving into Jersey, or take a free PCR test on arrival and isolate until they receive a negative result. The result usually arrives within 12 hours but can take up to 24 hours.

All visitors must fill out a pre-departure form within 48 hours of arriving to Jersey.

These rules apply to everyone aged 12 and over. For more information, click here.

Visitors who are contact traced during their stay in Jersey are not required to isolate providing they are participating in the testing programme. The Covid Safe team will contact visitors to arrange a PCR test.
