Is Guernsey right for you?
The island of Guernsey is the second largest of the Channel Islands situated in the English Channel west of the Normandy Peninsula.
Population
The population of Guernsey is approximately 66,000 and effective immigration controls exist to restrict future growth.
Political Structure
Since 1066, The Channel Islands have been possessions of the English Crown, as distinct from colonial and overseas dependencies of the United Kingdom. Accordingly, the constitutional relationship between the Channel Islands and the United Kingdom is unique, whereby the respective legislative assemblies have the exclusive right to legislate on matters of domestic concern to the Islands(including taxation), whilst the United Kingdom is responsible for the Island's external affairs.
Infrastructure and Economy
Whilst the financial services sector provides Guernsey's main source of income, the tourist industry continues to be important. Air services from Guernsey are excellent with services to London being particularly frequent. There are also flights to many European centres, including Paris and Amsterdam.
Language
English is the main and official language although French is spoken widely.
Currency
The Guernsey Pound is on par with UK Pound. The Island issues its own notes and coinage that are freely interchangeable with the UK Pound.
Exchange Control
None.
Law
Largely based on English Common Law, with many French features.
