Jersey is known for its low income tax rates and absence of estate duties. The residency application process is highly efficient, often completed within a month unless additional details are needed.

Residential property purchases in Jersey are regulated by the government’s housing committee, and only those with Jersey housing qualifications can buy property. High-net-worth individuals can obtain a 2(1)E license under Jersey’s housing law by making a significant tax contribution. Currently, this requires an annual tax contribution of GBP 250,000, based on a sliding scale of 20% on the first GBP 1.25 million of worldwide income and 1% on the rest. Applicants must demonstrate they can generate this level of tax revenue.

Once granted high-value residence status, individuals can apply to purchase property and enjoy the same rights as other residents, including employment and business activities. They must buy or lease a property worth at least GBP 1.75 million for an apartment or GBP 3.5 million for a house. Citizenship regulations follow UK law, administered by the British Government under the British Nationality Act 1981.
