Visa & Entry

US passport holders enter Jamaica visa-free for up to 90 days. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for the duration of the stay. A return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation are required. Complete the online C5 Immigration and Customs form at enterjamaica.com before arrival. At Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) in Kingston or Sangster International Airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay, immigration reviews your C5 form QR code and stamps your passport.

Jamaica does not charge a separate tourist tax at the airport: the tourism enhancement fee is included in your airline ticket. For stays beyond 90 days, apply for an extension at the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) in Kingston or Montego Bay. Montego Bay is the main resort and cruise port. Negril, Ocho Rios, and Port Antonio spread along the north and west coasts. Kingston is the cultural and musical capital: the Bob Marley Museum, Devon House, and the live music scene draw visitors to the south coast.

Direct flights from Miami (MIA) to Montego Bay run about 1 hour 45 minutes on American Airlines, JetBlue, and Caribbean Airlines. New York JFK to MBJ runs about 3 hours 45 minutes. Direct service also operates from Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles. Jamaica uses the Jamaican dollar (JMD), trading at roughly 157 JMD per $1. US dollars are accepted at hotels, resorts, and tourist businesses. ATMs dispense JMD and are common in towns. Card payments work at most tourist-facing businesses. Route taxis and minibuses run between towns for JMD 200 to JMD 500 ($1.30 to $3.20). JUTA and JCAL licensed taxis operate from airports at fixed rates posted on signs.
