Guernsey plans to continue French day-tripper programme

A plan to continue a program that allows French people to visit Guernsey for a day using their national ID cards instead of a passport will be implemented next year.

This plan was started earlier this year, and the ferry company believes it has helped bring more visitors this summer.

The agreement was supposed to end in September, but the French and island authorities want to extend it until the end of 2024.

The Committee for Home Affairs wants to make sure French people have as many chances as possible to travel before the new UK travel system starts in 2024.

When the UK starts using the ETA scheme, French citizens will need to have a passport to enter the Common Travel Area.

Deputy Rob Prow, who is in charge of the Committee for Home Affairs, stated that because the pilot program during the summer was successful, they want to extend it for another year.

We want to create a similar addition, but we need to talk more with the UK.

“We will give you new information as soon as we can. ”

The day-tripper scheme is only for trips that go directly from Normandy or Brittany to St Peter Port Harbour in Guernsey or Braye Harbour in Alderney.

Travelers can visit the Bailiwick of Guernsey, but they have to come back on the same day’s boat ride.
