UK residents visiting the Channel Islands must ensure they have adequate travel insurance from 1 April. The current agreement, which allows UK travellers to get a limited number of medical treatments in the Channel Islands free of charge, will end on March 31.

Anyone travelling to the Channel Islands, including visitors from the UK, will be required to pay for medical treatment should they become ill or injured there after 31 March. All visitors are strongly advised to take out adequate health and medical insurance before they travel. The islands are outside the EU and therefore not covered by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
