Foreign Nationals
With regard to the immigration of foreign nationals, the Isle of Man is part of the Common Travel Area with the Channel Islands and the United Kingdom and shares the same immigration legislation. Thus anyone who is entitled to enter the UK is also entitled to enter the Isle of Man and vice versa. There is free access to the Island for citizens of the UK, Eire the Channel Islands, and for nationals of the European Economic Area. Commonwealth citizens holding passports endorsed with a Certificate of Entitlement also have the right of abode but, in general, persons from outside the British Isles or the EEA need some form of entry clearance. Such persons should contact a British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate for advice.
