Politicians have voted unanimously to continue a scheme which allows French day-trippers to visit Jersey using ID cards, rather than passports.
The ID card scheme was introduced in 2023 when the number of day trip visitors dropped after Brexit because rules meant visitors needed passports.
Despite the scheme being in place for two years, there has been uncertainty about its future due the UK introducing electronic travel authorisation for visitors.
Deputy Sir Philip Bailhache, who brought forward the proposition, said "many French citizens do not possess a passport and rely upon their identity cards".
