From today, international visitors to Jamaica will no longer be required to obtain travel authorisation to enter the island. Travellers 12 years of age and older will only need to provide a negative result from a Covid-19 antigen or PCR test conducted within 72 hours before their travel.Additionally, travellers to Jamaica will no longer face travel-related quarantine measures.

Jamaica has recently shortened the isolation period required for United States travellers who test positive for Covid-19 while in Jamaica, in keeping with CDC recommended guidelines, and eliminated quarantine restrictions for fully vaccinated business travellers who present a negative PCR test taken within three days of travel to Jamaica.

The health and safety of every Jamaican and every visitor to the country remain the island’s top priority through its comprehensive Jamaica Cares program.Jamaica Cares is a nationwide response to Covid-19 that includes comprehensive health and safety protocols which were among the first to receive the World Travel & Tourism Council’s Safe Travels recognition and allowed the island to safely reopen in June of 2020.
