Jersey has been a Crown Dependency since 1290, which means its not part of the UK but a self-governing possession of The Crown. Jersey 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 citizens to move freely between the UK, Republic of Ireland, and the Channel Islands without a passport.

Jersey offers extensive and quality healthcare services, with private and state supported options available. The NHS is not available in Jersey, healthcare services are delivered by Health and Community Services. For the first 6 months, health care services will be provided at an added cost.
