The government is starting a pilot scheme in time for the summer season.
French national day trip visitors arriving on commercial passenger ferries will be allowed to enter Jersey using their national ID cards, under a new pilot scheme.
The current process is said to be difficult for many French nationals, who may not possess passports and instead rely on ID cards. The scheme was announced by Deputy Helen Miles, Minister for Home Affairs, who said: "It is important that we are all working together to enable French residents to visit our beautiful island and give them the flexibility they need to do so.
Deputy Kirsten Morel, Minister for Economic Development said: "This offers a great opportunity to improve our connectivity to France and provide a boost to our local hospitality and retail sectors by making it easier for French day trippers wanting to visit Jersey".
