About us
Just 14 miles (20km) from the west coast of France and 85 miles (137km) from the south coast of England, youll find the Island of Jersey. The Island is easy to get to from the UK and mainland Europe. There are up to 40 daily flights in and out of Jersey. Jersey is a Crown Dependency which means its not part of the UK but is a self-governing possession of The Crown. Jersey has been a Crown Dependency since 1290 and has its own democratically elected parliament, government, tax system, and laws.
However, the Island does have a close historic relationship with France and the UK, and relies on the UK for defence and international relations. It is also part of the Common Travel Area (CTA) which allows British and Irish citizens to move freely between the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland), Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands.
