Immigration Details for the Isle of Man
The Isle of Man is a part of the British Isles Common Travel Area. This
area includes England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of
Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
There are no immigration controls when travelling between any of the
areas in the Common Travel Area and as such a passport is not required to
enter the Isle of Man.
Travellers heading to the Isle of Man from outside the Common Travel Area
will almost certainly reach either the UK or Republic of Ireland first and
their immigration will be handled at that point.
At the current time British and European Economic Area nationals wishing
to reside permanently in the Isle of Man do not require a visa,
however they will probably require work permits. In recent years
legislation has been passed which allows the Isle of Man Government to
prevent the uncontrolled settling of British and EEA nationals, but this
has yet to be made use of.
Other nationals wishing to settle in the Isle of Man should make an
application to their local British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate
which will send the application to the Isle of Man for a decision. The
immigration requirements of the Isle of Man are very similar to those of
the UK.
