Guernsey travel policies

The Bailiwick of Guernsey, cautious with its Covid-19 restrictions but also conscious of the tourist industry, has again brought in its own entry rules.

All travellers from the Common Travel Area (the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Jersey and the Isle of Man = CTA), regardless of vaccination, now need to purchase and complete a course of lateral flow tests.  There are no other restrictions for these travellers.

Arrivals will have to pay £25 per travelling adult for a pack of five lateral flow tests that they will receive in the terminal.  This charge will be collected at the point of the traveller completing the Travel Tracker.  Visitors are asked to take the lateral flow test every other day, to help protect themselves and the wider community.

For all other countries, travel requirements will depend on whether or not the traveller is fully vaccinated.  Fully vaccinated non-CTA arrivals will be required to take a self-swab PCR test on arrival and self-isolate until proven negative.  Unvaccinated non-CTA arrivals will need to take a self-swab PCR test on arrival at the port, and self-isolate until they take a second PCR test on Day 8 and receive a negative result.

It is also strongly recommended that those who are not local residents arrange to take a pre-travel test (either PCR or lateral flow).
