Is Jersey right for you?
Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and is approximately 160 kilometres south of England, but only 22 kilometres from France.
Population
The population of Jersey is approximately 90,000 and effective immigration controls exist to restrict future growth.
Political Structure
Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom but a self-governing Crown Dependency which gives the Island constitutional rights of self government and judicial independence with political and economical stability. The Islands special relationship with the European Union was ratified by Protocol 3 of the Treaty of Accession of the United Kingdom to the European Community. Through this Protocol, Jersey complies with the European Union Directives on trade in industrial and agricultural products, but is not obliged to implement Directives or Regulations in other areas such as Taxation, Financial Services and European Monetary Union.
Infrastructure and Economy
Whilst the financial services sector provides Jersey's main source of income, the tourist industry continues to be important.
Air services from Jersey are excellent with services to London being particularly frequent. There are also flights to many European centres, including Paris and Amsterdam
Language
English is used in all aspects of the financial and commercial activities of the Island. However, French remains the official language of the Royal Court of Jersey.
Currency
The Jersey Pound is on par with the UK Pound. The Island issues its own notes and coinage that are freely interchangeable with the UK Pound.
Exchange Control
None.
Law
Largely based on English Common Law, with many French features.
