Provision as extended to Jersey
|
PART I
REGULATION AND ENTRY INTO AND STAY IN JERSEY
General Principles
1.–(1) All
those who are in this Act expressed to have the right of abode in Jersey shall
be free to live in, and to come and go into and from, Jersey without let or
hindrance except such as may be required under and in accordance with this Act
to enable their right to be established or as may be otherwise lawfully imposed
on any person.
(2) Those not having that
right may live, work and settle in Jersey by permission and subject to such
regulation and control of their entry into, stay in and departure from Jersey
as is imposed by this Act; and indefinite leave to enter or remain in Jersey
shall, by virtue of this provision, be treated as having been given under this
Act to those in Jersey at its coming into force, if they are then settled there
(and not exempt under this Act from the provisions relating to leave to enter
or remain).
(3) Arrival in and
departure from Jersey on a local journey from or to the United Kingdom,
Guernsey, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland shall not be subject to
control under this Act, nor shall a person require leave to enter Jersey on so
arriving, except in so far as any of those places is for any purpose excluded from
this subsection under the powers conferred by this Act; and in this Act Jersey
and those places, or such of them as are not so excluded, are collectively
referred to as “the common travel area”.
(4) The rules laid down by
the Minister as to the practice to be followed in the administration of this
Act for regulating the entry into and stay in Jersey of persons not having the
right of abode shall include provision for admitting (in such cases and subject
to such restrictions as may be provided by the rules, and subject or not to
conditions as to length of stay or otherwise) persons coming for the purpose of
taking employment, or for purposes of study, or as visitors, or as dependants
of persons lawfully in or entering Jersey.
(5) The Minister may by
Order regulate the taking of employment by persons not having the right of
abode who are given leave to enter Jersey.
(6) Before making an Order
under subsection (5) the Minister must consult the Chief Minister.
Statement of right of abode in Jersey.
2.–(1) A person
is under this Act to have the right of abode in Jersey if –
(a) he is a British
citizen; or
(b) he is a Commonwealth
citizen who –
(i) immediately before the
commencement of the British Nationality Act 1981 was a Commonwealth citizen
having the right of abode in Jersey by virtue of section 2(1)(d) or section
2(2) of this Act as then in force; and
(ii) has not ceased to be
a Commonwealth citizen in the meanwhile.
(2) In relation to
Commonwealth citizens who have the right of abode in Jersey by virtue of subsection
(1)(b) above, this Act, except this section, section 5(2) and section 25, shall
apply as if they were British citizens; and in this Act (except as aforesaid)
“British citizen” shall be construed accordingly.
Deprivation of right of abode
2A.–(1) The
Minister may by order remove from a specified person a right of abode in Jersey
which he has under section 2(1)(b).
(2) The Minister may make
an order under subsection (1) in respect of a person only if the Minister
thinks that it would be conducive to the public good for the person to be
excluded or removed from Jersey.
(3) An order under
subsection (1) may be revoked by order of the Minister.
(4) While an order under
subsection (1) has effect in relation to a person –
(a) section 2(2) shall not
apply to him, and
(b) any certificate of
entitlement granted to him shall have no effect.
General provisions for regulation and control.
3.–(1) Except
as otherwise provided by or under this Act, where a person is not a British
citizen –
(a) he shall not enter
Jersey unless given leave to do so in accordance with the provisions of, or
made under, this Act;
(b) he may be given leave
to enter Jersey (or, when already there, leave to remain in Jersey) either for
a limited or for an indefinite period;
(c) if he is given limited
leave to enter or remain in Jersey, it may be given subject to all or any of
the following conditions, namely –
(i) a condition
restricting his work or occupation in Jersey;
(ia) a condition
restricting his studies in Jersey;
(ii) a condition requiring
him to maintain and accommodate himself, and any dependants of his, without
recourse to public funds;
(iii) a condition requiring
him to register with the police;
(iv) a condition requiring
him to report to an immigration officer or the Minister; and
(v) a condition about
residence.
(2) The Minister shall from
time to time (and as soon as may be) present to the States statements of the
rules, or of any changes in the rules, laid down by him as to the practice to
be followed in the administration of this Act for regulating the entry into and
stay in Jersey of persons required by this Act to have leave to enter,
including any rules as to the period for which leave is to be given and the
conditions to be attached in different circumstances; and section 1(4) above
shall not be taken to require uniform provision to be made by the rules as
regards admission of persons for a purpose or in a capacity specified in
section 1(4) (and in particular, for this as well as other purposes of this
Act, account may be taken of citizenship or nationality).
If a statement presented to the States under this subsection is
disapproved by resolution passed at the sitting at which it is so presented or
at the next following sitting of the States then the Minister shall make
changes or further changes in the rules as appear to him to be required in the
circumstances and the statement of those changes shall be presented to the
States as soon as practicable after the said resolution was passed.
(3) In the case of a
limited leave to enter or remain in Jersey, –
(a) a person’s leave may be
varied, whether by restricting, enlarging or removing the limit on its
duration, or by adding, varying or revoking conditions, but if the limit on its
duration is removed, any conditions attached to the leave shall cease to apply;
and
(b) the limitation on and
any conditions attached to a person’s leave (whether imposed originally or on a
variation) shall, if not superseded, apply also to any subsequent leave he may
obtain after an absence from Jersey within the period limited for the duration
of the earlier leave.
(4) A person’s leave to
enter or remain in Jersey shall lapse on his going to a country or territory
outside the common travel area (whether or not he lands there), unless within
the period for which he had leave he returns to Jersey in circumstances in
which he is not required to obtain leave to enter; but, if he does so return,
his previous leave (and any limitation on it or conditions attached to it)
shall continue to apply.
(5) A person who is not a
British citizen is liable to deportation from Jersey if –
(a) the Minister deems his
deportation to be conducive to the public good; or
(b) another person to whose
family he belongs is or has been ordered to be deported.
(6) Without prejudice to
the operation of subsection (5) above, a person who is not a British citizen
shall also be liable to deportation from Jersey if, after he has attained the
age of seventeen, he is convicted of an offence for which he is punishable with
imprisonment and on his conviction is recommended for deportation by a court
empowered by this Act to do so.
(7) Where it appears to Her
Majesty proper so to do by reason of restrictions or conditions imposed on
British citizens, British overseas territories citizens or British Overseas
citizens when leaving or seeking to leave any country or the territory subject
to the government of any country, Her Majesty may by Order in Council make
provision for prohibiting persons who are nationals or citizens of that country
and are not British citizens from embarking in Jersey, or from doing so
elsewhere than at a port of exit, or for imposing restrictions or conditions on
them when embarking or about to embark in Jersey; and Her Majesty may also make
provision by Order in Council to enable those who are not British citizens to
be, in such cases as may be prescribed by the Order, prohibited in the
interests of safety from so embarking on a ship or aircraft specified or
indicated in the prohibition.
(8) When any question
arises under this Act whether or not a person is a British citizen, or is
entitled to any exemption under this Act, it shall lie on the person asserting
it to prove that he is.
(9) A person seeking to
enter Jersey and claiming to have the right of abode there shall prove it by
means of –
(a) a United Kingdom
passport describing him as a British citizen,
(b) a United Kingdom
passport describing him as a British subject with the right of abode in the
United Kingdom, or
(c) a certificate of
entitlement.

3ZA.–(1) An
Irish citizen does not require leave to enter or remain Jersey, unless
subsection (2), (3) or (4) applies to that citizen.
(2) This subsection applies
to an Irish citizen if the Irish citizen is subject to a deportation order made
under section 5(1).

necessary information.
Procedure for, and further provisions as to, deportation.
5.–(1) Where
a person is under section 3(5) or (6) above liable to deportation, then subject
to the following provisions of this Act the Minister may make a deportation
order against him, that is to say an order requiring him to leave and
prohibiting him from entering Jersey; and a deportation order against a person
shall invalidate any leave to enter or remain in Jersey given him before the
order is made or while it is in force.
(2) A deportation order
against a person may at any time be revoked by a further order of the Minister,
and shall cease to have effect if he becomes a British citizen.
(3) A deportation order
shall not be made against a person as belonging to the family of another person
if more than eight weeks have elapsed since the other person left Jersey after
the making of the deportation order against him; and a deportation order made
against a person on that ground shall cease to have effect if he ceases to
belong to the family of the other person, or if the deportation order made
against the other person ceases to have effect.
(4) For the purposes of
deportation the following shall be those who are regarded as belonging to
another person’s family –
(a) where that other person
is a man, his wife or civil partner, and his or her children under the age of
eighteen; and
(b) where that other person
is a woman, her husband or civil partner, and her or his children under the age
of eighteen,
and for purposes of this subsection an adopted child, whether
legally adopted or not, may be treated as the child of the adopter and, if
legally adopted, shall be regarded as the child only of the adopter; an
illegitimate child (subject to the foregoing rule as to adoptions) shall be
regarded as the child of the mother; and “wife” includes each of two or more
wives.
(5) The provisions of
Schedule 3 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the removal from
Jersey of persons against whom deportation orders are in force and with respect
to the detention or control of persons in connection with deportation.
(6) Where a person is
liable to deportation under section 3(5) or (6) above but, without a
deportation order being made against him, leaves Jersey to live permanently abroad,
the Minister may make payments of such amounts as he may determine to meet that
person’s expenses in so leaving Jersey, including travelling expenses for
members of his family or household.
Recommendations by court for deportation.
6.–(1) Where
under section 3(6) above a person convicted of an offence is liable to
deportation on the recommendation of a court, he may be recommended for
deportation by any court having power to sentence him for the offence unless
the court commits him to be sentenced or further dealt with for that offence by
another court.
(2) A court shall not
recommend a person for deportation unless he has been given not less than seven
days’ notice in writing stating that a person is not liable to deportation if
he is a British citizen, describing the persons who are British citizens and
stating (so far as material) the effect of section 3(8) above and section 7
below; but the powers of a court to adjourn shall include power to adjourn,
after convicting an offender, for the purpose of enabling a notice to be given
to him under this subsection or, if a notice was so given to him less than
seven days previously, for the purpose of enabling the necessary seven days to
elapse.
(3) For purposes of section
3(6) above –
(a) a person shall be
deemed to have attained the age of seventeen at the time of his conviction if,
on consideration of any available evidence, he appears to have done so to the
court making or considering a recommendation for deportation; and
(b) the question whether an
offence is one for which a person is punishable with imprisonment shall be
determined without regard to any enactment restricting the imprisonment of
young offenders or persons who have not previously been sentenced to
imprisonment;
and for purposes of deportation a person who on being charged with
an offence is found to have committed it shall, notwithstanding any enactment
to the contrary and notwithstanding that the court does not proceed to
conviction, be regarded as a person convicted of the offence, and references to
conviction shall be construed accordingly.
(4) Notwithstanding any
rule of practice restricting the matters which ought to be taken into account
in dealing with an offender who is sentenced to imprisonment, a recommendation
for deportation may be made in respect of an offender who is sentenced to
imprisonment for life.
(5) Where a court
recommends or purports to recommend a person for deportation, the validity of
the recommendation shall not be called in question except on an appeal against
the recommendation or against the conviction on which it is made; but the
recommendation shall be treated as a sentence for the purpose of any enactment
providing an appeal against sentence.
(6) A deportation order
shall not be made on the recommendation of a court so long as an appeal or
further appeal is pending against the recommendation or against the conviction
on which it was made; and for this purpose an appeal or further appeal shall be
treated as pending (where one is competent but has not been brought) until the
expiration of the time for bringing that appeal.
Exemption from deportation for certain existing residents.
7.–(1) Notwithstanding
anything in section 3(5) or (6) above but subject to the provisions of this
section, a Commonwealth citizen or citizen of the Republic of Ireland who was
such a citizen at the coming into force of this Act and was then ordinarily
resident in Jersey –
(a) shall not be liable to
deportation under section 3(5) if at the time of the Minister’s decision he had
for the last five years been ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom and
Islands;
(b) shall not on conviction
of an offence be recommended for deportation under section 3(6) if at the time
of the conviction he had for the last five years been ordinarily resident in
the United Kingdom and Islands.
(2) A person who has at any
time become ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom or in any of the Islands
shall not be treated for the purposes of this section as having ceased to be so
by reason only of his having remained there in breach of the immigration laws.
(3) The “last five years”
before the material time under subsection (1)(a) or (b) above is to be taken as
a period amounting in total to five years exclusive of any time during which
the person claiming exemption under this section was undergoing imprisonment or
detention by virtue of a sentence passed for an offence on a conviction in the
United Kingdom and Islands, and the period for which he was imprisoned or
detained by virtue of the sentence amounted to six months or more.
(4) For purposes of
subsection (3) above –
(a) “sentence” includes any
order made on conviction of an offence; and
(b) two or more sentences
for consecutive (or partly consecutive) terms shall be treated as a single
sentence; and
(c) a person shall be
deemed to be detained by virtue of a sentence –
(i) at any time when he is
liable to imprisonment or detention by virtue of the sentence, but is
unlawfully at large; and
(ii) (unless the sentence
is passed after the material time) during any period of custody by which under
any relevant enactment the term to be served under the sentence is reduced.
In paragraph (c)(ii) above “relevant enactment” means the Criminal Procedure (Jersey)
Rules 2021 and any similar enactment which is for the time being or has
(before or after the passing of this Act) been in force in any part of the
United Kingdom and Islands.
(5) Nothing in this section
shall be taken to exclude the operation of section 3(8) above in relation to an
exemption under this section.
Exceptions for seamen, aircrews and other special cases.
8.–(1) Where
a person arrives at a place in Jersey as a member of the crew of a ship or
aircraft under an engagement requiring him to leave on that ship as a member of
the crew, or to leave within seven days on that or another aircraft as a member
of its crew, then unless either –
(a) there is in force a
deportation order made against him; or
(b) he has at any time been
refused leave to enter Jersey and has not since then been given leave to enter
or remain in Jersey; or
(c) an immigration officer
requires him to submit to examination in accordance with Schedule 2 to this
Act;
he may without leave enter Jersey at that place and remain until the
departure of the ship or aircraft on which he is required by his engagement to
leave.
(2) The Minister may order
that any person or class of persons be exempt, either unconditionally or
subject to such conditions as the Minister may impose, from all or any of the
provisions of this Act relating to those who are not British citizens.
An exemption under this section with respect to a class of persons
must be made by Order to which Article 11 of the Legislation (Jersey) Law 2021 shall apply.
(3) Subject to subsection
(3A) below, the provisions of this Act relating to those who are not British
citizens shall not apply to any person so long as he is a member of a mission
(within the meaning of the Privileges and Immunities
(Diplomatic, Consular, etc.) (Jersey) Law 1998), a person who is a member
of the family and forms part of the household of such a member, or a person
otherwise entitled to the like immunity from jurisdiction as is conferred by
that Law on a diplomatic agent.
(3A) For the purposes of
subsection (3), a member of a mission other than a diplomatic agent (as defined
by the 1998 Law) is not to count as a member of a mission unless –
(a) he was resident outside
Jersey, and was not in Jersey, when he was offered a post as such a member; and
(b) he has not ceased to be
such a member after having taken up the post.
(4) The provisions of this

person who may be required to submit to examination under paragraph 2 above may
be detained under the authority of an immigration officer pending his
examination and pending a decision to give or refuse him leave to enter.

enter has been suspended under paragraph 2A may be detained under the authority
of an immigration officer pending –
(a) completion of his
examination under that paragraph; and

detained under the authority of an immigration officer pending –
(a) a decision whether or
not to give such directions;

aircraft and been refused leave to enter, and the captain may for that purpose
detain him in custody on board the ship or aircraft.
(4) The captain of a ship
or aircraft, if so required by an immigration officer, shall prevent from
disembarking in Jersey or before the directions for his removal have been

the ship or aircraft.

person liable to be detained under paragraph 16 above may be arrested without
warrant by a police officer or by an immigration officer.

premises, he may grant a warrant authorising any immigration officer or police
officer to enter, if need be by reasonable force, the premises named in the
warrant for the purpose of searching for and arresting that person.
18.–(1) Persons
may be detained under paragraph 16 above in such places as the Minister may

(2) Where a person is
detained or liable to be detained under paragraph 16, any immigration officer,
police officer or prison officer, or any other person authorised by the
Minister, may take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary for
photographing, measuring or otherwise identifying him.

applies to sub-paragraph (2) as it applies to paragraph 4(5).

officer, to and from any place where his attendance is required for the purpose
of ascertaining his citizenship or nationality or of making arrangements for
his admission to a country or territory other than the Jersey, or where he is
required to be for any other purpose connected with the operation of this Act.

18A.–(1) An
immigration officer or police officer may search a person (“P”) who is detained
under paragraph 16 for anything which P might use –
(a) to cause physical
injury to P or others, or

from legal custody.
(2) The power to search P –
(a) unless sub-paragraph
(3) applies, does not include power to require P to remove any clothing other
than an outer coat, jacket or glove, but
(b) includes power to
require P to open P’s mouth.
(3) This sub-paragraph
applies if an immigration officer or police officer has reasonable grounds to
believe that there is concealed on P anything which P might use as mentioned in
sub-paragraph (1).
(4) The power to search P
may be exercised only to the extent reasonably required for the purpose of
discovering anything which P might use as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).
(5) An intimate search (as
defined in section 28H(11)) may not be conducted under this paragraph.
(6) An immigration officer
or police officer may seize and retain anything found on a search of P if the
officer or police officer has reasonable grounds to believe P might use it as
mentioned in sub-paragraph (1).
(7) Nothing seized under
sub-paragraph (6) may be retained when P is released from detention under
paragraph 16.

may be detained under paragraph 16(2) in a short-term holding facility for a
maximum period of 24 hours, and only for so long as the following two
conditions are met.
(3) The first condition is
that –
(a) directions are in force
that require the child to be removed from the short-term holding facility
within the relevant 24 hour period, or
(b) a decision on whether
or not to give directions is likely to result in such directions.
(4) The second condition is
that the immigration officer under whose authority the child is being detained
reasonably believes that the child will be removed from the short-term holding
facility within the relevant 24 hour period in accordance with those
directions.
(5) An unaccompanied child
detained under paragraph 16(2) who has been removed from a short-term holding
facility and detained elsewhere may be detained again in a short-term holding
facility but only if, and for as long as, the relevant 24 hour period has not
ended.

who has been released following detention under paragraph 16(2) may be detained

19.–(1) Where
a person is refused leave to enter Jersey and directions are given in respect
of him under paragraph 8 or 10 above, then subject to the provisions of this
paragraph the owners or agents of the ship or aircraft in which he arrived
shall be liable to pay the Minister on demand any expenses incurred by the
latter in respect of the custody, accommodation or maintenance of that person
for any period (not exceeding 14 days) after his arrival while he was detained
or liable to be detained under paragraph 16 above.
(2) Sub-paragraph (1) above
shall not apply to expenses in respect of a person who, when he arrived in
Jersey, held a certificate of entitlement or a current entry clearance or was
the person named in a current work permit; and for this purpose a document
purporting to be a certificate of entitlement, entry clearance or work permit
is to be regarded as being one unless its falsity is reasonably apparent.
(3) If, before the
directions for a person’s removal under paragraph 8 or 10 above have been
carried out, he is given leave to enter Jersey, or if he is afterwards given
that leave in consequence of a judicial review of a refusal of leave to enter
by virtue of which the directions were given, no sum shall be demanded under
sub-paragraph (1) above for expenses incurred in respect of that person and any
sum already demanded and paid shall be refunded.

the owners or agents of the ship or aircraft in which he arrived in
Jersey shall be liable to pay the Minister on demand any expenses incurred by
the latter in respect of the custody, accommodation or maintenance of that
person for any period (not exceeding 14 days) after his arrival while he was
detained or liable to be detained under paragraph 16 above.

shall not apply to expenses in respect of an illegal entrant if he obtained
leave to enter by deception and the leave has not been cancelled under
paragraph 6(2) above.

directions for a person’s removal from Jersey have been carried out, he is
given leave to remain in Jersey, no sum shall be demanded under sub-paragraph
(1) above for expenses incurred in respect of that person and any sum already
demanded and paid shall be refunded.
(3) Sub-paragraph (1) above
shall not have effect in relation to directions which, in consequence of
proceedings for judicial review, are for the time being of no effect; and the

person liable to detention or detained under paragraph 16(1), (1A) or (2) above
may, under the written authority of an immigration officer, be temporarily admitted
to Jersey without being detained or be released from detention; but this shall
not prejudice a later exercise of the power to detain him.
(2) So long as a person is
at large in Jersey by virtue of this paragraph, he shall be subject to such
restrictions as to residence, as to his employment or occupation and as to
reporting to the police or an immigration officer as may from time to time be
notified to him in writing by an immigration officer.
(2A) The provisions that may
be included in restrictions as to residence imposed under sub-paragraph (2)
include provisions of such a description as may be prescribed by Order made by
the Minister.
(2B) Such an Order may, among
other things, provide for the inclusion of provisions –
(a) prohibiting residence in
one or more particular areas;
(b) requiring the person
concerned to reside in specified accommodation and prohibiting him from being
absent from that accommodation except in accordance with the restrictions
imposed on him.
(2C) Such an Order may
provide that a particular description of provision may be imposed only for
prescribed purposes.
(2D) The power to make Orders
conferred by this paragraph includes a power to make different provision for
different cases.
(3) Sub-paragraph (4) below
applies where a person who is at large in Jersey by virtue of this paragraph is
subject to a restriction as to reporting to an immigration officer with a view
to the conclusion of his examination under paragraph 2 or 2A above.
(4) If the person fails at
any time to comply with that restriction –
(a) an immigration officer
may direct that the person’s examination shall be treated as concluded at that
time, but

above shall require the notice giving or refusing him leave to enter Jersey to

reasonable grounds for believing that there are relevant documents on the

it is reasonably required for the purpose of discovering relevant documents;
and
(c) subject to
sub-paragraph (4), only if a senior officer has authorised its exercise in

may conduct a search under sub-paragraph (2) –
(a) before taking the
arrested person to a place where he is to be detained; and
(b) without obtaining an
authorisation under sub-paragraph (3)(c),
if the presence of that person at a place other than one where he is

documents.
(5) An officer who has
conducted a search under sub-paragraph (4) must inform a senior officer as soon
as is practicable.
(6) The officer authorising
a search, or who is informed of one under sub-paragraph (5), must make a record

for an all premises warrant, the Bailiff must also be satisfied –
(a) that there are
reasonable grounds for believing that it is necessary to search premises
occupied or controlled by the person in question which are not specified in the
application in order to find the relevant documents, and
(b) that it is not
reasonably practicable to specify in the application all the premises which the
person occupies or controls and which might need to be searched.
(6AC) Subject to
sub-paragraph (6BA), the warrant may authorise entry to and search of premises
on more than one occasion if, on the application, the Bailiff is satisfied that
it is necessary to authorise multiple entries in order to achieve the purpose
for which the justice issues the warrant.
(6AD) If it authorises
multiple entries, the number of entries authorised may be unlimited, or limited
to a maximum.
(6B) The conditions mentioned
in sub-paragraph (6A)(b) are that –
(a) it is not practicable

sub-paragraph applies cannot be produced in a form of the kind mentioned in
that sub-paragraph, the officer may seize the device or medium on which it is
stored.
(8) But subparagraphs (7)
to (7C) do not apply to documents which the officer has reasonable grounds for
believing are items subject to legal privilege.
(8A) An immigration officer
may retain a document seized under this paragraph while the officer has
reasonable grounds for believing that –

be liable to removal from Jersey in accordance with a provision of the
Immigration Acts, and

document may facilitate the person’s removal.
(9) “Relevant documents”
means any documents which might –

reasonable grounds for believing that the arrested person may have concealed on
him anything of a kind mentioned in that sub-paragraph; and
(b) only to the extent that
it is reasonably required for the purpose of discovering any such thing.
(5) A power conferred by
this paragraph to search a person is not to be read as authorising an officer
to require a person to remove any of his clothing in public other than an outer
coat, jacket or glove; but it does authorise the search of a person’s mouth.
(6) An officer searching a
person under sub-paragraph (2) may seize and retain anything he finds, if he
has reasonable grounds for believing that the person searched might use it to
cause physical injury to himself or to another person.

at the port outside the control area and that any conditions or restrictions
notified to them are observed.
(3) The Minister may also
from time to time give to any persons concerned with the management of a port
in Jersey written notice designating control areas in the port and specifying

captain of a ship or aircraft arriving in Jersey –
(a) shall take such steps
as may be necessary to secure that persons on board do not disembark there

virtue of section 8(1) of this Act; and

|
PART I
IMMIGRATION: GENERAL
Leave to enter, or remain in, Jersey
Removal of persons unlawfully in Jersey
10.–(1) A
person may be removed from Jersey under the authority of the Minister or an
immigration officer if the person requires leave to enter or remain in Jersey
but does not have it.
(2) Where a person (“P”) is
liable to be or has been removed from the Jersey under subsection (1), a member
of P’s family who meets the following three conditions may also be removed from
Jersey under the authority of the Minister or an immigration officer, provided
that the Minister or immigration officer has given the family member written
notice of the intention to remove him or her.
(3) The first condition is
that the family member is –
(a) P’s partner,
(b) P’s child, or a child
living in the same household as P in circumstances where P has care of the
child,
(c) in a case where P is a
child, P’s parent, or
(d) an adult dependent
relative of P.
(4) The second condition is
that –
(a) in a case where the
family member has leave to enter or remain in Jersey, that leave was granted on
the basis of his or her family life with P;
(b) in a case where the
family member does not have leave to enter or remain in Jersey, in the opinion
of the Minister or immigration officer the family member –
(i) would not, on making
an application for such leave, be granted leave in his or her own right, but
(ii) would be granted
leave on the basis of his or her family life with P, if P had leave to enter or
remain.
(5) The third condition is
that the family member is none of the following –
(a) a British citizen,
(b) an Irish citizen,
(c) a person who has leave
to enter or remain in Jersey which was granted by virtue of residence scheme

(6) A notice given to a
family member under subsection (2) invalidates any leave to enter or remain in
Jersey previously given to the family member.
(7) For the purposes of
removing a person from Jersey under subsection (1) or (2), the Minister or an
immigration officer may give any such direction for the removal of the person
as may be given under paragraphs 8 to 10 of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act.
(8) But subsection (7) does
not apply where a deportation order is in force against a person (and any
directions for such a person’s removal must be given under Schedule 3 to the
1971 Act).
(9) The following
paragraphs of Schedule 2 to the 1971 Act apply in relation to directions under
subsection (7) (and the persons subject to those directions) as they apply in

subject to those directions) –
(a) paragraph 11 (placing
of person on board ship or aircraft);
(b) paragraph 16(2) to (4)
(detention of person where reasonable grounds for suspecting removal directions
may be given or pending removal in pursuance of directions);
(c) paragraph 17 (arrest of
person liable to be detained and search of premises for person liable to

(payment of expenses of custody etc);
(h) paragraph 21 (temporary
admission to Jersey of person liable to detention);
(i) paragraphs 25A to 25E
(searches etc).
(10) The Minister may by
Order make further provision about –
(a) the time period during
which a family member may be removed under subsection (2);
(b) the service of a notice
under subsection (2).
(11) In this section –
“child” means a person who is under the age of 18;
“residence scheme immigration rules” means immigration rules which
are identified as having effect in connection with the withdrawal of the United
Kingdom from the European Union.

13.–(1) This
section applies if a person –
(a) is to be removed from
Jersey to a country of which he is a national or citizen; but
(b) does not have a valid
passport or other document establishing his identity and nationality or
citizenship and permitting him to travel.
(2) If the country to which
the person is to be removed indicates that he will not be admitted to it unless
identification data relating to him are provided by the Minister, he may
provide them with such data.
(3) In providing
identification data, the Minister must not disclose whether the person
concerned has made a claim for asylum.
(4) For the purposes of
Article 49(1)(d) of the GDPR, the provision under this section of
identification data is a transfer of personal data which is necessary for
important reasons of public interest.

Jersey may include or be amended to include provision for the person who is to
be removed to be accompanied by an escort consisting of one or more persons
specified in the directions.
(2) The Minister may by
Order make further provision supplementing subsection (1).
(3) Such Order may, in
particular, include provision –

such costs in connection with the escort (including, in particular,

PART 5A
ARTICLE 8 OF THE ECHR: PUBLIC INTEREST CONSIDERATIONS

Part applies where a court or tribunal is required to determine whether a
decision made under the Immigration Acts –
(a) breaches a person’s
right to respect for private and family life under Article 8, and
(b) as a result would be
unlawful under Article 7 of the Human Rights (Jersey) Law
2000.
(2) In considering the
public interest question, the court or tribunal must (in particular) have
regard –
(a) in all cases, to the
considerations listed in section 117B, and
(b) in cases concerning the
deportation of foreign criminals, to the considerations listed in section 117C.
(3) In subsection (2), “the
public interest question” means the question of whether an interference with a
person’s right to respect for private and family life is justified under
Article 8(2).
Article 8: public interest considerations applicable in all cases.
117B.–(1) The
maintenance of effective immigration controls is in the public interest.
(2) It is in the public
interest, and in particular in the interests of the economic well-being of
Jersey, that persons who seek to enter or remain in Jersey are able to speak
English or French, because persons who can speak English or French –
(a) are less of a burden on
taxpayers, and
(b) are better able to
integrate into society.
(3) It is in the public
interest, and in particular in the interests of the economic well-being of
Jersey, that persons who seek to enter or remain in Jersey are financially
independent, because such persons –
(a) are not a burden on
taxpayers, and
(b) are better able to
integrate into society.
(4) Little weight should be
given to –
(a) a private life, or
(b) a relationship formed
with a qualifying partner,
that is established by a person at a time when the person is in
Jersey unlawfully.
(5) Little weight should be
given to a private life established by a person at a time when the person’s
immigration status is precarious.
(6) In the case of a person
who is not liable to deportation, the public interest does not require the
person’s removal where –
(a) the person has a
genuine and subsisting parental relationship with a qualifying child, and
(b) it would not be
reasonable to expect the child to leave Jersey.
Article 8: additional considerations in cases involving foreign
criminals.
117C.–(1) The
deportation of foreign criminals is in the public interest.
(2) The more serious the
offence committed by a foreign criminal, the greater is the public interest in
deportation of the criminal.
(3) In the case of a
foreign criminal (“C”) who has not been sentenced to a period of imprisonment
of four years or more, the public interest requires C’s deportation unless
Exception 1 or Exception 2 applies.
(4) Exception 1 applies
where –
(a) C has been lawfully
resident in Jersey for most of C’s life,
(b) C is socially and
culturally integrated in Jersey, and
(c) there would be very
significant obstacles to C’s integration into the country to which C is
proposed to be deported.
(5) Exception 2 applies
where C has a genuine and subsisting relationship with a qualifying partner, or
a genuine and subsisting parental relationship with a qualifying child, and the
effect of C’s deportation on the partner or child would be unduly harsh.
(6) In the case of a
foreign criminal who has been sentenced to a period of imprisonment of at least
four years, the public interest requires deportation unless there are very
compelling circumstances, over and above those described in Exceptions 1 and 2.
(7) The considerations in
subsections (1) to (6) are to be taken into account where a court or tribunal
is considering a decision to deport a foreign criminal only to the extent that
the reason for the decision was the offence or offences for which the criminal
has been convicted.

the sentence or any part of it (of whatever length) is to take effect);

who has been sentenced to a period of imprisonment of that length of time only
by virtue of being sentenced to consecutive sentences amounting in aggregate to

remain in Jersey which was granted by virtue of residence scheme immigration
rules,

reasonable excuse for not being in possession of a document of the kind
