The Minister for Justice and Home Affairs, Senator Helen Miles, is continuing to press for action to address travel difficulties experienced by some Islanders since the introduction of the UK's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme. Senator Miles has written to airline carriers and consular representatives seeking their assistance to ensure passengers with legitimate immigration permissions issued by Jersey are not wrongly prevented from travelling.
Islanders who are due to travel are reminded to have relevant documents with them, if they have them, as they’re valid for travel. These include:
✅ Visa vignette or,
✅ Work permit or,
✅ Supporting official documents (including EUSS letters)
