Chapter 1: Important Information To Know Before Booking your Vacation to Ocho Rios, Jamaica<\/span><\/p>\n

Passport and Visa<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n


\nNorth American travellers do not need a visa to visit Jamaica for leisure or business, as long as they are able to show a return ticket and plan to leave within a six month time frame.\u00a0 <\/span>Travellers can apply to extend their initial stay to 12 months while in the country.\u00a0 <\/span>The length\u00a0 <\/span>of stay allowed is subject to the approval of the Jamaican Immigration Authorities, and frequent visitors must obtain a visa if the total days spent in a calendar year exceeds 180.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A valid passport is necessary for travel to Jamaica.\u00a0 <\/span>As with most international travel, the passport will need to have at least 6 months left before expiry \u2013 and remember to date this from your return trip, as you may have difficulties with your home country’s immigration authority on the trip home if you do not.\u00a0 <\/span>Expired passports or naturalization certificates will not be accepted.\u00a0 <\/span>On arrival, you may be required to show proof that you have sufficient income or a way to look after yourself financially while in Jamaica.\u00a0 <\/span>You may also be required to prove that any minors travelling with you do so legally \u2013 for example, adoption papers or birth certificates.\u00a0 <\/span>These must be originals as even certified copies are not accepted.\u00a0 <\/span>These rules are in place to prevent illegal trafficking of children, and while you may not find that you require them at all, it is much better to be prepared.\u00a0 <\/span>Jamaican immigration authorities will require proof that you have been vaccinated against Yellow Fever if you have recently come out of a Yellow Fever area (normally areas in South America and Africa).\u00a0 <\/span>Permanent residents of the United States may also enter under these conditions, but they must also have their Green Cards or US Reentry Permits (as applicable) along with their return ticket.\u00a0 <\/span>Normally cruise ship passengers do not need a visa to enter Jamaica, especially if their immigration status falls under the conditions already mentioned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
