| About Jersey |
Those of us who already live and
work in Jersey know just how fortunate we are:
firstly there’s the island itself and the
outdoor, continental lifestyle it offers; then there’s
the buoyant economy with jobs in abundance –
and more and more companies bringing their business
to our shores.
|
 |
The opportunities for career
development and progression within the Island are
substantial.
|
| Add a low personal tax regime,
short commuter journeys, beautiful countryside,
wonderful seaside vistas, some of the best sunshine
records in the British Isles, easy connections to
the UK, France and the rest of Europe and beyond,
excellent education and healthcare, superb
recreation opportunities and low crime levels and
you have all the ingredients for a unique lifestyle. |
|
| If you are a national of a European Economic Area
(EEA) country, you will not require permission from the
Customs & Immigration Service to enter into
employment. If you are a non European Economic Area
national, you will require permission to work in Jersey.
Work permits are applied for by prospective employers in
the Island and not by individual applicants. In addition
to a work permit you may also require a visa or entry
clearance. |
| If you are a Commonwealth national, you may be
eligible to apply for a Working Holiday Maker or United
Kingdom Ancestry entry clearance which would allow you
to work in the United Kingdom and Islands. The Working
Holidaymaker scheme is an arrangement where a person
aged between 17 & 30 at the time of entry can come
to the United Kingdom & Channel Islands for an
extended holiday. This can be for a period of up to two
years, with the intention of taking paid work on either
a full time basis for twelve months or on a part time
basis for twenty four months as part of the holiday. As
a Commonwealth national, you may also be eligible to
apply for a United Kingdom Ancestry entry clearance,
provided that you are aged 17 years or over and can
demonstrate that you have a grandparent who was born in
the United Kingdom and Islands. An entry clearance is a
visa or entry certificate issued for the purpose of
travel to the United Kingdom and Islands. |
| Applications for entry clearances must be made in
the country where you are living, to the British
Embassy, High Commission or other British Diplomatic
Mission (collectively known as British Diplomatic Posts)
designated to issue entry clearance. General information
on immigration and a list of nationalities who require
visas to enter the United Kingdom & Channel Islands
can be found on the relevant website, below. |
If you’re actually moving to Jersey to take up
employment for the first time, your new employer is
likely to be able to furnish you with help and support,
but should you need more, Excel is there for you again
and can provide you with the right contacts to cover the
range of issues you may face: housing, education,
removal firms, healthcare, insurance, pets and so on.
NOTE: In May 2008 a 3% Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced in the Island. To find out more about GST and how it will affect you, click here
