An excellent follow-up to the first video - as others have mentioned this friendly, easy going manner explains the process in moving to the island with great clarity. Would suggest a regular series of these "chats" - they are really good viewing !
Hi! I'm From South America Guyana, I appreciate very much your effort and the time you've dedicated to provide us with this useful information friend! You got a new subscriber.
And best of all, the 1600 homes we have for sale available to those moving to the island cost as little as one million pounds, plus the soul of your first born...
My son, here in NZ, worked in Computers world wide. He had an agent - one time his agent said he would be paid thru an off shore island - a little place he wouldn't have heard of - then he said Guernsey. My son fell about laughing - that's where he had been born!! When we decided to come to NZ, my Guernsey friends thought we would be living in grass huts and wear hula skirts. People world wide have some weird ideas off places they are not familiar with. Great info there Ross.
Well I think it just something that Guernsey people have got used to. There are many different nationalities live here now so I don’t even notice it anymore
Hi there! I really enjoy watching your videos/reviews of Guernsey! I have a question. What if I want to move to the island to retire (not employment), as I have a private income. would that make it slightly easier than coming to take up employment? Many thanks..John (Nickson)
Hi Ross. One thing you didn't cover is that 'outsiders' are restricted in purchasing property, most of which is for sale to Guernsey residents only, with very few properties being available on the open market for non-residents to purchase. (I couldn't afford to buy anyway, LOL!). Thanks
so you say there is no VAT tax, does that mean there is no additional tax on the items you buy retail in stores? like food, alcohol, toiletries, household goods? is there a carbon tax on your petrol? how much import duties and fees? do you get good fast service from Amazon? how does the country fund it's upkeep if it doesn't tax income? it only taxes local income wages and profits from local business? so if you're in the business of Export, would you be paying tax because you manufactured the item inside the country?
This video didnt explain very well the topic of UK citizens working or living in Guernsey. From my quick research UK citizens can live in and work Guernsey without permits. The complication comes in Where exactly you live and work in Guernsey
My apologize.. i asked the question before fully watching till the end! And I think you all ready answered my question, so I could only buy or rent on the open market is that correct?... John (Nickson)
I personally believe that if your an 'Outsider' and you want to move to Guernsey and purchase property that some kind of Levy should be applied. Say a small percentage of the price, held in a fund by the government to assist locals who find it hard to purchase property say for example for a deposit etc. just a thought, I know there is seperate local/open markets but I'm sure outsiders still push up property prices regardless. Same should go for Jersey, Isle of Man etc although at present I don't think the Isle of Man have seperate local/open markets. What would be your thoughts on this?

Glad it was helpful!
Again a good idea to do this, very well done too! As you are local Ross, theres no nonsense - a lot of others do get some things wrong.
Thanks Steven

I honestly thought people from the UK could live and work in Guernsey without restrictions.
What about semi-retired people or people with money coming to live on the island?.
How do the Guernsey people view people from the mainland that come to visit or live?
Love the videos!
Well I think it just something that Guernsey people have got used to. There are many different nationalities live here now so I don’t even notice it anymore
Thanks for this video. Amazing because we have an opportunity to move from South Africa. Been really nervous but it seems doable.
My son is in Guernsey now to work, worried about him getting a place for him to live🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Can you put a link for best mobile sim packages

What do you grow in your greenhouse?
Not much - I store wood in it for my log burner 👍

It does tax income 20%
