Starting from January 8, 2025, the United Kingdom has introduced an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) requirement for visa-exempt travellers. Initially, this applies to citizens from countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and others. From April 2, 2025, this requirement will extend to European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) citizens, including those from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. The ETA permits short-term visits of up to six months for tourism. Travellers must apply for the ETA online or via a mobile app before their trip. The process involves providing personal details, passport information, and answering a series of questions. The ETA costs £10 and is valid for two years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Most applications are processed within three working days, but it's advisable to apply well in advance of travel. However, travellers planning to work or study in the UK for more than six months will need to obtain the appropriate visa. It is essential to consult the UK Government's official website to understand the specific requirements and ensure a smooth journey. Please note that the ETA does not guarantee entry into the UK. Border officials retain the authority to grant or deny admission upon arrival.

Travelling by bus is an excellent way to see the island. There is an extensive reliable network crisscrossing Jersey. There are 3-day, 5-day, 6-day and 7-day passes. Given its small size and relatively gentle terrain, hiring a bicycle is another popular way of exploring the island. www.jerseybikehire.co.uk / www.jerseybikerepairs.com Car hire is plentiful both in St Helier and at the airport. Driving is on the left and there is a speed limit of 64 kilometres per hour. Those wishing to hire a car must be over 21-years-old, have had a full license for at least one year and no endorsements or disqualifications for dangerous driving or driving over the alcohol limit within the previous five years.

Taxis are able to collect people from the street and official taxi ranks. Smaller towns around Jersey might not have taxi ranks. In that case, you can always call for a taxi or let your hotel arrange one for you. Domino Cabs +44 1534 747047 www.dominocabs.je Liberty Cabs:
