Jersey : à savoir avant de partir

L’essentiel

  • ETA rules apply to eligible visitors from 23 April 2026; exemptions depend on route and status.
  • Causeways can flood rapidly: check the official access calculator before crossing.

Entrée et visas

Jersey is in the Common Travel Area, outside Schengen. Eligible non-visa visitors may need an ETA; visa nationals need appropriate prior permission. British and Irish citizens are exempt from ETA. Arrivals from Ireland have particular passport and permission rules: check government guidance rather than assuming every CTA route is identical.

Validité du passeport: Direct arrivals from outside the CTA need a valid passport; check nationality and carrier rules for other routes.
