International Mobility Passport Visa and Travel Documentation
Information for learners staff and visiting professionals
International study, professional development and academic visits require advance consideration of passport and immigration requirements. This resource brings together official channels, destination information and application-support services for people travelling from or planning to visit Guernsey.
Requirements must be checked against the traveller’s nationality, passport, country of residence, intended activities and duration of stay.
Guernsey passport and immigration enquiries
For passport applications and immigration enquiries relating to Guernsey, consult the States of Guernsey. Applicants holding another nationality should contact the passport authority or consular service of their country of citizenship.
Guernsey is a Crown Dependency and is not part of the United Kingdom. Travellers should therefore distinguish Guernsey requirements from those applying to study, employment or visits in the UK.

Applicants travelling to Guernsey for a course, placement or professional activity should obtain the relevant information from the receiving institution and confirm immigration requirements with the competent authority. An offer of admission or an invitation does not, by itself, establish permission to enter, study or work.
Travel connected with education and professional development
Before making an application, identify the activity to be undertaken:
- Attendance at a conference, meeting or academic event.
- Participation in a short course or training programme.
- Enrolment in a longer programme of study.
- A professional, clinical or practical placement.
- Employment or the provision of services.
Do not assume that the same immigration category covers each activity. Provide the relevant authority or adviser with an accurate description of the proposed visit.
For journeys involving the United Kingdom, consult the official visa checker and Common Travel Area guidance.
