Health Care in Guernsey
UK residents visiting the Channel Islands must ensure they have adequate travel
insurance. The recommendation comes from the Department of Health as the healthcare
arrangements for UK visitors to the Islands have recently changed.
The previous agreement, which allowed UK travellers to get a limited number of medical
treatments in the Channel Islands free of charge, ended on March 31 2009. Anyone
travelling to the Islands, which include Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark and Herm,
will be required to pay for medical treatment should they become ill or injured
there after this date.
Visitors should therefore take out adequate insurance before they travel.
Duty Free in Guernsey
The following goods may be imported into Guernsey by persons over 18 years of age
without incurring customs duty:
- 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 100 cigarillos or 350g of tobacco
- 2l of still table wine
- 1l of alcoholic beverages under 22% or 2l of sparkling or fortified wine
- Other goods to a value of £145
