Connecting through another country?

This page covers a direct flight to Guernsey.

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.

What to know before you go

Freedom of movement for Guernsey

INFO

No visa required for entry to Guernsey. Confirm the latest allowed-stay duration with the destination's official source before travel.

Check your phone coverage abroad

INFO

You're travelling to Guernsey (GG). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.

Cash declaration threshold: EUR 10,000 for Ireland (IE)

INFO

Declare EUR 10,000 or equivalent when entering or leaving Ireland (IE). Form: Cash declaration form. EU-wide: declare €10,000+ when entering/leaving the EU. Individual member states may have additional rules.

Common Travel Area - live, work, and travel freely across the UK and Ireland

INFO

Your IE citizenship lets you travel freely across the Common Travel Area - Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Crown Dependencies of the Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey - with no visa, residence permit, or onward ticket; British and Irish citizens face no routine immigration control on CTA-internal routes (you may still be asked to prove identity and nationality). The reciprocal right to reside, work, and study without a permit applies between the UK and Ireland. The Crown Dependencies run their OWN housing and work controls - Jersey's Control of Housing and Work Law, the Isle of Man work-permit regime, and Guernsey's Population Management Law - so you can visit freely, but living or working there can require a permit or qualifying status even for a British or Irish citizen. The CTA pre-dates EU membership and is unaffected by Brexit. Carry your passport.

Carry proof of British/Irish citizenship - carriers may still ask

WARN

CTA free movement is your right, but airline check-in agents and ferry operators sometimes apply generic identity-document rules. Carry your passport (some CTA-internal air routes accept other photo ID, but a passport never fails) and, if pushed back, reference the Common Travel Area arrangement between the UK and Ireland.
