Retirement Visa Program
Jersey has no dedicated retirement visa. Non-UK/EU retirees must use UK-aligned visas or High-Value Residency (£250,000 annual tax, £1.25M income, £10M assets required - not suitable for typical retirees). British/Irish citizens and certain others need no visa.
Pension System
UK-aligned PAYG system with contributory state pension. Jersey offers supplementary pension schemes; transfers to QROPS/SIPPs available. High replacement rates for long-term contributors, sustainable due to Crown Dependency fiscal controls.
Pension Adequacy
State pension provides solid base (UK rates apply), supplemented by private pensions common among expats. Low elderly poverty rates; foreign pensions taxable but overseas transfers facilitated.
Healthcare Access
Excellent public healthcare system free at point of use for residents via Social Security contributions. High-quality hospitals, short waits; private options available. Expats gain access after establishing residency.
