JAMAICA
Jamaica is a destination like no other. The island offers breathtaking splendour and spectacular attractions, unparalleled beauty, and unmatched tastes, making it the most diverse destination in the Caribbean region.
Jamaica has established an enviable reputation for outstanding hospitality and offers a wide array of accommodations ranging from luxurious all-inclusive hotels and quaint inns, to splendid beach resorts and simple mountainside villas.
The island is also famous for its delightful music, world-class athletes, delicious local food, gourmet coffee and fine rum, duty-free shopping, and warm, friendly people.
To enter Jamaica, U.S. travelers must meet the following requirements:
A U.S. passport is required and must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from Jamaica.
All travelers must complete the C5 Immigration and Customs Form. This can be completed online to save time at the airport.
Proof of a return ticket or onward travel is required.
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days.
Travelers arriving from countries with a risk of yellow fever must provide proof of vaccination.
The official currency of Jamaica is the Jamaican Dollar (JMD), represented by the symbol J$. Locally, Jamaicans refer to the currency simply as “dollars.” When prices are quoted as “$200” or “$1,000,” they usually refer to Jamaican dollars, not U.S. dollars. This can be confusing for first-time visitors, as U.S. dollars are sometimes accepted in tourist areas.
