Common Travel Area
Holders of a valid visa for the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands may travel freely around the Common Travel Area without the need to apply for a specific visa for the Isle of Man.
Nationals of some countries do not need to apply for entry clearance prior to travel to the Isle of Man/United Kingdom. Instead, they are assessed at the point of entry to the United Kingdom. Schengen visas are not valid in the Isle of Man and cannot be issued by the Immigration Office of the Isle of Man. Please check if you need to apply for entry clearance before you travel.
Long-Stay Standard Visitor Visa
If you need to visit the Isle of Man on a regular basis for a longer period of time, you can apply for a long-stay Standard Visitor Visa that lasts 2, 5, or 10 years. You can stay for a maximum of six months on each visit. Caution must be exercised by the holder of a long-stay visa so that successive and frequent visits are not seen as a means of living in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man. Entry to the United Kingdom may be refused if it is felt that this is the case.
Entry to the Isle of Man
Passengers arriving on the Isle of Man via Dublin must present themselves and their passports to the Isle of Man Immigration Office.
Note: If you are a non-visa national who can visit the Isle of Man without a visa, you will need prior entry clearance if you wish to travel to the Isle of Man in any other category. You will not be able to apply for a further vacation to stay in the Isle of Man if you arrive as a visitor in the United Kingdom/Isle of Man.
Isle of Man Visa Costs
The Isle of Man visitor visa fee is the same as the UK visitor visa fee. The cost of a UK visa for the Isle of Man depends on the type of visa and the length of stay. There are additional fees for priority and super-priority processing and for biometric appointments.
Isle of Man Work Visa:
If you want to work in the Isle of Man, you will need a work visa. The work visa requirements are the same as for the United Kingdom. You will need a job offer from a licensed sponsor, a certificate of sponsorship, and proof of your English language proficiency.
