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.
