Jersey: wat je moet weten voor vertrek
Het belangrijkste
- 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.
Inreis en visa
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.
