When you get Jersey residency, you can move freely across the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. Jersey is part of the Common Travel Area (CTA), so you don't face immigration checks in these places.
To qualify, you must have a worldwide income of at least £1,250,000 per year. The amount ensures that you have stable finances and can contribute to Jersey's economy. You also need to pay at least £250,000 in taxes every year.
On top of that, you must have personal wealth of more than £10,000,000, not including your main home. Some of this wealth should be liquid, so you can show that you can cover your expenses and taxes comfortably.
You need to buy or rent a high-value property in Jersey.
Besides money and property, Jersey looks at your overall contribution to the island. They check your ability to support the economy, take part in local projects or businesses, and maintain a good reputation. They also consider your family situation, lifestyle, and background, including any criminal history.
How to Get The Jersey Residence Permit: 5-Step Process
First, learn about all the High-Value Residency requirements and make sure you meet every one of them. You don't have to buy or rent property yet - you can do that later once you get approval. This initial check typically takes 1 day.
Collect all the important papers you will need. This usually means your passport, business and personal references, a certificate showing no criminal record, and papers proving your income. Sometimes, they may ask for other documents, so be ready. This process typically takes 1 to 2 weeks.
Send in your application. Officials will check everything carefully through a Due Diligence process and then pass your application to the Comptroller of Taxes. After that, the Government of Jersey's Housing and Work Advisory Group will make the final decision. You will also have to attend an interview to explain where your income comes from and how you plan to pay taxes. This step takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Once you get approval, you can come to Jersey and buy or rent a home. The property has to be worth a certain amount, and you have to keep it for as long as you have your residence permit. This process typically takes 1 month.
When your residence permit expires, you can renew it for two more years. After five years with your permit, you can apply for permanent residency. During this time, you must keep owning property in Jersey, live in the country for at least 185 days each year, and pay taxes. Renewal occurs after 3 years.
The first big challenge is the cost. To qualify, you need a yearly income of at least £1,250,000, personal wealth over £10 million, and an annual tax contribution of at least £250,000.
You must rent or buy a residential property in Jersey. If you buy a house, it should cost at least £3,500,000, or an apartment at least £1,750,000. Even if you rent first, you must buy a property within two years of getting approval.
You have to know that residency here does not give you a passport. You can live, work, and study in Jersey, but permanent residency takes at least five years. After that, you can apply for citizenship.
