Risks, limitations, and uncertainty

Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.

Present
Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
Not a Plan B asset in the no-stay sense: the status assumes you actually live in Jersey. It is a housing and tax status, not a visa; non-British nationals need their own immigration permission and the Jersey investor visa closed to new applicants on 12 April 2022. Status is reviewed to confirm the GBP 250,000 tax is still met. The list's 'no contribution' and '185 days' claims were not confirmed.
