Requirements from 28 May 2021* 

The UK is split into four regions, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each region will be categorised into three bands (Green, Amber and Red) with different testing and isolation requirements when arriving into Jersey. 

From 28 May, Red, Amber and Green classifications will restart for the rest of the world.  

Green - Day 0 and Day 8 PCR tests (if still in Jersey): all passengers have to self-isolate on arrival while awaiting the first negative test result. Results are currently expected to be returned within an average of 24 hours. 

Amber - Day 0, Day 5 and Day 10 PCR tests: Self-isolation until negative test result from your day 5 test. 

Red - Day 0, Day 5 and Day 10 PCR tests: Self-isolation until negative test result from your day 10 test. 

* At the earliest opportunity from 28 May, fully vaccinated passengers arriving from a Green or Amber area in the UK will have reduced testing and isolation requirements. Fully vaccinated arriving passengers will still be required to have a Day 0 PCR test but will not need to isolate. 

Visitors to Jersey can opt to provide evidence of a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test conducted in their country of departure, replacing the need for a Day 0 test. Full details of this option can be found here. 

All visitors need to complete a pre departure registration form within the 48 hours prior to their arrival in Jersey which will include a 14 day travel history. Your 14 day travel declaration will show if you have slept in a Green, Amber or Red region and this will apply on your arrival to Jersey.
