Brexit: Key changes for Islanders, visitors and businesses

In January 2021, our relationship with the EU changed. New rules for Islanders and businesses are in place.

Planning a trip to Europe

To visit any EU country, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you need to:

  • make sure your passport is no older than 10 years and has 6 months validity left on your intended date of arrival. Further information on passport rules for travel to Europe
  • if asked on arrival, provide the reason for your trip and produce documents to support this, such as return tickets and adequate funds
  • check if you need a visa. You can visit and remain in the EU for 90 days in any 180 day period without needing a visa. However, if you want to stay longer, you need to apply for a long-stay visa
  • check if you need an International Driving Permit (IDP) for some countries to drive or hire a car in Europe. You may also need a 'green card' from your insurance company
  • if you're taking a pet into Europe, meet new requirements and have an Animal Health Certificate (AHC). The original Pet Passport scheme is no longer valid
  • check you have appropriate travel and health insurance before travelling
