I hope this video helped. See description for useful information🙂
Where are you originally from?
You sound Zimbabwean
@@SouthAh i am indeed.
@@makingme Mwana waami, you should make more travel videos
@@SouthAh 😄will consider!
What would you know about jersey u muppet
I live here, and although your video tells people mostly about the difficulties we face living on an Island, not once did you praise us. Yes the great days of this island are long gone. But there is a saying in Jersey, "there's a boat or plane out everyday".
"You can drive around the island in a day." (You can actually do it in a couple of hours, I've done this many times). "It's located between the UK and France, a bit closer to France." (It's actually 100 miles from The UK mainland, but only 14 miles from France, which you can see very clearly on a sunny day). Otherwise very informative.
hi, what documents are required for UK residents ( not national )?
@@zohaisofficial5246 Could you rephrase the question? Are you asking how you get to live in Jersey if you are a UK resident? I don't understand your "(not national)?" thingy.
@@zohaisofficial5246 None.
Thank you:)
Used to be a great holiday destination. Not much to visit there for now, most attractions and hotels gone, they'd rather have luxury flats.
Dover One Foxtrot haha ik growing ups tough here
We wouldn't rather have them, London bankers would
It’s because people keep on coming to the island to live so we have to build more residential lots and to do that we have to knock down other buildings
Tourism went down drain many years ago,it’s all finance now,far more money in developing hotels into housing!
It’s an island of greed now!
I come from a small island in Scotland, whenever you said it's a small island you can drive around it in a day, i thought that's quite big 😂 you could walk around the island I'm from in a day, we've a population of 5000 people.
Apart from that tho good video tho, I've been to Guernsey the Isle of Man and Gibraltar before but never Jersey, hoping to go after the Coronavirus is done
Lol! I'm from a big Island, called Australia, takes a good while to drive around I can tell you probably weeks. But I did live in Jersey for awhile back in the early 80s and loved it. Not sure I could go any smaller than Jersey to live on though.
Oh wow, i hope you managed to go.
There is a young lady from Barbados who is married to a European who is on the same island as you and has a channel as well. Thank you for giving a very detailed information checklist. Can't wait to visit one day. 🇺🇸
Thank you!
She sounds Zimbabwean
@sherrance what's the name of the channel
Lived on the rock for ten years 94/04. Still visit but the good times are gone. Far too expensive now & town is dead once the shops close. Zero hours contracts are common place. Don't get a taxi unless you're loaded. My advice, don't move there.
11:23 You do go through Customs when you travel from Jersey to the UK
Noted
Youngsters leaving the island because property and living costs so high
Yes as even when I lived on dicq road the la ballisters daughter had left to go to live in London
I did that in 1988. Plus ca change...
@@honda4004 London is just as expensive, even the crap parts, so they probably moved because of more things to do.
@@leonhenry4861 nothing for young people to do in jersey,nearly all night clubs gone,Jersey full of old people and immigrants now.
@@aala7337 absolutely
Hello, I may be moving to jersey for agency work, for a few months from London. I am also an African woman, it’s wonderful to know that there are other Africans there too.
Why?
I've live near St Malo. This is a really good video for not British who are going there to work. Informative and helpful 😎
Les H Mahagow thank you!
U mean it's better place to live and work . I'm a brazilian
Hi am coming to jersey next month thanks to your videos I got inspired by you, hope I can meet you there
All the best!
All my life I’ve lived here sometimes I hate it there is literally no where to go anymore after 15years
Eoghan Jones it is a small island, but beautiful.
Beer is good and alcohol traditionally cheap. It is where the British went on holidays before cheap flights to Spain happened. Sooo many pubs/ And if anyone asks if there are black, brown, pink or stripped people in these pubs before they go in.......
Oh, many speak Jerriais, which is not French.
Thanks
its really informative presentation to all and briefly explain about jersey 👍🙂
Thank you
I know it's not in the UK but I like how you had to put UK for easily-confused Americans
😄
Not many people speak French, most people speak English but some speak polish
Myles Willcox Thank you for that.
Actually Crapuads speack Jerriais.
51WCDodge but it is a dying language and the older generation are the few that speak it
Making a comeback though!
You can see a lot of polish people on Jersey.
Really informative, and beautifully presented, thank you 😊 x
Thank you😊
very informative. I will be visiting Jersey as tourist foreigner in a few months, and it is my first time. Currently, I have a tourist visa, my question, is it okay to have a direct flight to Jersey without going to any UK airport? For example from Dubai to Jersey direct flight.
I think there are only a few flights from other countries in Europe, otherwise all other international flights go through the UK.
Doesn't feel like your in Britain when your there,just so different
Glasgow Blues
The Kent desert, Highland snow area, mountains, Dering woods doesn’t feel like you’re in the U.K., but they are.... and so is Jersey.
It's full of Scots Rangers supporters though 😂
I’m sorry but Jersey is extremely similar to the rest of Britain. This is coming from someone who has lived in Jersey all their life and frequently visits England.
Hi Jeff would you know Dave steel and kenny Horton and john coupee ( he owned j.c construction ) if so could you say hi from Melvin used to play 5 aside at leisure centre and also at St. John would love to return as I'm a carpenter Also knew Richie Brocken but know he's died cheers
It’s not Britain
I'm British and know nothing about Jersey so that was really useful and interesting! It seems like a weired kind of place on paper - no trains! No Nandos! No corporate tax! Only 100,000 people! I live in Brighton, UK, which isn't a very big city, & it's population is almost three times that - so it is like quite a small city or large town, population wise: there must be very little there! I bet it's wealthier than the UK though per capita. Anyway thanks again! I might visit - flights are so cheap!
You are welcome!
I lived in jersey very expensive place to live and food more ther meat is too expensive we use go food market in st Helier good ther good bakery in market veg is local in supermarket my family still ther
"Rest of the uK"... The Channel Islands are British Crown Dependencies, but not part of the UK. They are separate jurisdictions.
When talking about the Mainland, you would be referring to "Britain"
Yes..
@@makingmeBritain or the Uk are not the Mainland to any of the Channel Islands.
Jerseys too expensive I used to live there it’s just so expensive nothing to do but the beaches I recommend
It is an expensive place.
Ive been at the German hospital there and Alcatraz in San francisco dont know whats more interesting.
I’ve been to Jersey back in 2019, I hated it, I stayed in the Grand Jersey Hotel. The hotel was class and the shooting ranges were cool. But besides that I hated the place.
The food from outside the hotel had this distinct taste and I did not like it and it was literally every food place that was outside the hotel had that same exact taste, we called it the “Jersey Taste.”
Once you leave St Helier you are literally in the middle of nowhere and if you’re on foot, GOOD LUCK to you. The locals are nice and helpful I won’t lie, they’re always ready to lend a helping hand and give you a lift back to St Helier and they’re so fascinated by us Londoners. But you will get bored of the place after a day or 2.
We booked a week visit to Jersey and after 2 days I wanted to go home. I literally spent most of the trip getting drunk on the beach and telling stories about life in London to the locals who approached me.
Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice island full of nice people but I personally couldn’t live there. Everyone advised us to come back in the summer as we went around April but to be honest I didn’t and still don’t see the point. You’re better off spending a week in Brighton but that’s just my experience.
Thanks for sharing
I’m intrigued about the “Jersey taste” 😄 what did it taste like? Please don’t say Jersey 😂
@mybeautifulview The best way I can describe is Musty, imagine the smell of an elderly person's home but tasting the smell
@@DatActiveGuy oof 😣 thanks for that lol!
Thanks for the good information 👍🏽
Very helpful.
I must say though the unsteady holding of the camera gave me a headache. Invest in some tripod hun xx
Thanks and noted.
This is an excellent video. Thank you! 😊
Welcome😊
Well explained. Great job
Jessica Ritchie thank you!
There isn’t any ID that we use in the U.K. so you can’t use ID to travel between jersey and the U.K.
Interesting
@@makingme You can use your driving licence as id.
@@komtasu i think you can if its a UK drivers licence.
you can use your passport.
I think you can walk around the island in the day
Oh wow
I live in devon when we went for a break it rained every day
Oh gosh, not the best.
@@makingme no it wasnt great but still enjoyed it and made the most of our stay . We are going again in may .
@@margaretdrew2844 nice!
Nice one girl, thanks 😊
Thank you
Anyone know what its like when arriving at Jersey. Is it possible to do a back to back tier point run?
Sorry not sure what that is.
Your video is very helpful. But I wish to ask, you know about Guernsey Island Too? I have a job offered there and am looking for information like this about the place. Pls help
Sorry i do not have info on Guernsey
why not just put your phone steady on your desk?
Noted
Very good, enjoyed listening.
Thank you🙂
you probably don't understand what is french influance .Jersy people are brits and they have nothing to do with their own identify .If you move to Alsace you will see that local people abstain from French and Germans .
Ok.
Can you ride EUC on the Island?
this is very helpful! thank you very much!
Welcome!
How cold are the average winters?
Hey , can you make another video about the island with the brexit
Sorry i am now based in the mainland
Hi, Hope you are doing well , would you be able to guide me on the visa process for Jersey.
I am aware that the program is similar to UK visa program , however there are a few differences and not able to clearly map out a route of how to go about things.
Hi, im not sure what the current process is but you can check on the gov website.
Nice...lovely
Thank you
I have applied for 3 years skilled worker visa and waiting for approval. I am stress bcz i have uploaded bank statements which is having less amount..please let me know my visa approval chances.
Hi, im not sure what the process is now. Maybe the government website can help
@@makingme nothing mention at website. But when you went for job that time it was required or not?? Have you uploaded bank statements that time.
@@Tradewithlooserbyashu i was on a Tier 2 visa not a skilled worker visa.
Takes 2 hours to drive around the Island. But honestly just because you had such a shit time and got ripped off a bit doesn't mean that the island is a bad place..
The fact that you refer to it as 'that island' says it all...
I am not even sure how you got a job there to be honest...
What are you so butt hurt about? She never said it was a bad place. She was pleasant and informative. The only people complaining about Jersey in the comment section are the people FROM Jersey and they're far more blunt.
@@BombshElle_7 Oh shut your pie hole..
Amazing
Thank you
😄😃🇯🇪🇬🇬 En las Islas del canal (Jersey y Guernsey) se hablan el inglés y francés, por la antigua ocupación francesa y estar cerca del país, en menor medida se habla el jerseyés su idioma nativo o originario, además de el guerneseyés, ambos idiomas normandos.
this is great
and kindly i ask aquestin , have done with my interview with my employer and i was told before they send me offer letter i should get the accommodation , or guest house for one month in jersey then i send to them so they can send me the offer letter i have 3 days for this kindly i would like to ask if you know any chipest guest house in jersey? , so i can kno the location and there email to communicate to them
Not sure about that one.
How about to get the house. Would you help to connect me with any of Agency or landlords. There WhatsApp number or email for me to talk to them. Because my employer is waiting for me
Very helpful thanks
When I think of this Island I think of Henry Cavill 😍
Big help thank you
I know garments work. I'd like to go, please help?
All the best.
hey dear im doing my studies through UNISA as well , do you have a video explaining how to apply for CA jobs in UK / Jersey? . i would like to relocate post completion of my CA journey.
Thank you, i will consider making such a video.
Jersey has been destroyed. Officially most expensive place in the world to live. No benefits available for five years and borders are now closed.
High crime. Low quality of life. So jammed up with cars it’s quicker to cycle.
I heard from another Islander’s RUclips channel that crime is very low. What sort of crime is experienced?
Thanks for the usual video. As you get UK visa, does time spent in Jersey would count towards ILR for the UK ? For instance, if you live in Jersey for 2 years and then in UK and now want to apply for ILR?
Yes, my time in Jersey counted towards ILR.
Hi Pranesh, are you still living in Jersey?
There is now an increasing population of Spanish Speakers on the Island.
I’ll be there next month
Jersey is close to the French province Normandy than UK
It was part of the Duchy of Normandy. When the Engilish Crown gave up French possecions in 12 84 the Islands were given a choice to remain with the English Crown or revert to French rule. We made the right decision.
@New King If by the people, you are an English Citizen, but as the Island has never ben part of the European Dictatorship, you have no EU rights. As for the history the Islands were part of the grant made to the Norsemen by the then (Forget who of the top of my head) French king, basically to get them off his back. 1084 with Edward and William the promise of the English throne- Then 1066- William took the English Throne and also kept his French mainland pocession, his title was Duke of Normandy. 1200's when John gave up hclaim to French lands the Island's were given the choice of returning to France or remaing part of the Britsh Crown, which they did. Hence the current situation. The Islands are Bailiwicks, they have the right to make their own laws , raise taxes , independent of the British Parliment at Westminster, that really annys Left Wing Poloticians,. The Head of state is the Monarch, the Head of the Island States is the Baillif, a Crown Appointment, and the Representative of the Monarch is the Lieutenatant Governor, who sits blow the Baillif in the states. The Stataes have thier Mace.
@New King You will hear that UK never had conscription outside the two World Wars. Not quite! The Islands had conscription , what became the Royal Militia Island of Jersey is actually the longest organised part of the British Military, not the senior as the Gaurds claim, because it was disbanded in the 1950's. Now there is a Jersy Feild Squadron RMIJ part of the Reserve. In WW1 there was never a Jersey Battalion such as the Royal Gurnersey Light Infantary, but men served in all services. In WW2 the RMIJ beacme part of the 11th Service battalion the Hampshire Regiment. This ws never allowed to serve as a unit due to the Pal's Battalions tragedy of WW1 including the RGLI. but men could transfer to fighting battalions and keep the RMIJ cap badge. Historically Sir France Drake was once govenor of Elizabeth Castle. During the Civil War Gurnersy (Still a bone of contention ) went with parliment, Jersey stayed loyal. On 6th January 1781, the French decided to invade the Island's. They took offence that we had , out of loyalty to our Monorach of course, sent ships to capture prefidious French ships supplying those pesky rebels in America. A Major Pierson organised defence with regular and militia units, and sent them packing. Pierson was killed, his black servant Pompey , avenged him. The whole thing is the subject of an epic paintaing called the Death of Pierson, painted by an American. As you can see I like the irony of the Little Rock's history.
@New King Ah ! Look up La Cotte De St Brelade. Neolithic man was about, the area was originally part of Dogger Land. There are 12 parshies each has it' s own parish church. There are both types of churches in the Island, never had an intrest in relgion, so can't answer detailed questions. There is the Jersey Archive that has a lot of records and the Jerias Wikapidia. Records are held at Parish level, you would need the Parish Hall of your ancestors. Each Parish also has it's own Police force, the Honarary Police, the head being the Connetable of the Parish, under him the Centeniers, then the Vingteners. This dates back to the Norman Heritage. Odd fact: Emily Le Breton AKA Lily Langtry was the daughter of the Dean of Jersy, who was a infamous womaniser, she is buried at St Saviour's church. The correct term for a Jersey person is Crapaud- means toad- often wrongly applied to the French. The Jersy Common Toad is a distinct species.
@New King I know the feeling. :-) No known cure for the History bug. There is no Alford Parish in the Island's but that dosen't mean anything. My surname is Banner, and the background proudly Welsh Coal miners, my parents moved to Island so that's why I'm here. www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Jerripedia

I have questions about working in Jersey, am I able to get a hold of you via email?
Yes sure.

If i like to live in Jersey, and buy a house there , i am from Sweden is it any chans?
From what I've heard you have to live there for a certain amount of time, before you can buy a property. Also the properties are expensive. Best Wishes
you cannot just come to Jersey and buy property, unless you are in a certain category.......RICH!
You forgot that you have to hate Guernsey 🇬🇬
Not sure about that one.
down with the Donkeys, Crapaud's for the win.
How weird is this. A lovely South African lady expounding the virtues of living in Jersey. Not sure how we are connected at all?
However nicely written and produced. Let us hope this puts people off as we have enough people here already.
We are overloaded and moving around the Island is getting uncomfortable.
The Island is 9 miles x 5 miles only.
There are more than enough Range Rovers. We don't need more.
Thanks, though not from SA
What does it matter how you are connected? Lots of people move around these days, go figure........
Bit of a harsh comment, the lady simply gave people an overview to a place she herself feels connected to and beautifully explained for those eager to make the move themselves. Unfortunately I don’t think you personally can regulate the amount of people that move to the island, as there are plenty recruiters advertising generous work offers for potential candidates and your tax system is considered quite favourable, hence people coming. I’d think your economy is benefiting from this demand and surplus of investments, but who am I to say. Have a good day Paul, we can all use a little bit more positivity :)
You can leave to make way for the new influx.
We have illegal uber
Could you answer me How do i get the job from India ? What is the procedure ? Can they oppoint workers from other countries? How do i get driving license into england licences ?
Hi, sorry i do not know about India specifically
You can check the government website and search jobs and you can apply.( gov je)
Very useful! Thank you! :)
Madalina Mit thank you😊
Madalina Mit hallo
If I have jersey skilled worker visa, do i need visa to travel France?
Im not sure but i think you need a visa
No England do things similar to Jersey, we own England! It was us who went over with William to kick the Harold's ass. The UK Monarch's oldest title is the Duke or Duchess of Normandy.
You don't own shit you bum
Err, no actually. The only people who went over with the Conquerer were the Normans who were NOT French and utterly despised the French and any of their lackeys like the population of Jersey. Maybe a few Jersey people went over as servants to polish the Normans armour but there were never any Jersey knights.
@@Britishshooter The Channel Islands were always part of Normandy until 1066, it’s not as if Jersey had been it’s “lackey”.
