Rules in Jamaica
Thank you for visiting our blog. According to the update released by the Jamaica Information Service, the requirement to obtain a COVID-19 pre-test within three days prior to travel is valid until April 15, 2022. This applies to both PCR and antigen tests. You can check our blog again for new rules that may be published by the Jamaican government in the coming weeks. Hello and thank you for visiting our blog. Resilient Corridor accommodations and attractions are listed here: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/compliant-listings/ I recommend that you request an official clarification of your particular situation via the form at the bottom of this website: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/ Hello and thank you for visiting our blog. According to Visit Jamaica, the testing requirements only apply to children 12 years of age and older. So her son wouldn`t need a Covid test to travel to Jamaica at this point. My understanding is that tourists should only use approved carriers and tour operators in the resilient corridor, which can be found here: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/#Approved (I don`t see any car rental companies.) I hope this helps. Hello. Restaurants are open and many offer takeaway. Some beaches are currently closed due to increasing transmission of the virus in the community.
Remember that if you are not staying in a licensed accommodation, there is a quarantine obligation. In general, tourists are encouraged not to visit local shops outside of permitted attractions. You can find options in the drop-down lists on this page: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/ Hi Ron. Looks like you`re visiting Jamaica in the tourism category. In this case, as long as you are in the elastic hallway, have a negative test, and have no symptoms, you do not need to quarantine. In addition to the approved hotel, you can take approved transportation to other approved locations in the elastic hallway. I suspect a church is unlikely to make the approved list, as the goal is to reduce exposure to local communities, but there may be an acceptable place where you are allowed to get married. This list of approved sites for resilient corridors can be found here: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/#Approved.
My other suggestion would be to ask the hotel for suggestions as they may have more information. Don`t forget to travel to Jamaica soon What are the mask rules in the resort Are the stations filling up again? Or will it be slow? If so, how much slower? Can you take a taxi from the airport to your resort? January 2022 – Bev, United States Visitors: “We stayed at Bahia Principe and it was beautiful. Taking a Covid test the day before the flight back to the US, sweating if you`re negative, and not knowing until you received an email in the middle of the night before heading to the airport at 4:00 was a stressful situation. Sangster International was easily negotiated without any problems. We probably won`t fly abroad again until Covid rules are more flexible to return home. Some people had to go to isolation rooms and stay there for days after testing positive. “Check with your transportation company for passport requirements before travelling. The rules of validity of the passport may be stricter than the conditions of entry into the country. Hi Jeff.
Thank you for visiting the blog. Currently, every traveler traveling to Jamaica must provide negative Covid-19 test results within three days prior to travel, regardless of nationality or origin of the flight. If you are outside the resilient corridor or in unauthorized accommodation, you will need to quarantine throughout your stay. According to Visit Jamaica: “Visitors staying less than 14 days are allowed to leave the island in accordance with current protocols, which include appropriate arrangements for transportation to the airport.” Approved transportation can be found here: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/#Approved Thank you, Lindsay. Yes, under current rules for international travel back to the United States, you must take a test before leaving Jamaica for the United States. Some resorts include this test in their packages, otherwise there are many test sites for this purpose in Jamaica. If your test is positive, you will need to quarantine for 14 days at your own expense and self-isolate in accommodation in Jamaica (unless quarantine is already included in your hotel package). You can read more about a previous guest`s quarantine experience in the update at the end of August at the end of our article.
That`s a good question. My understanding is that if you fly to Kingston, you will be outside the resilient corridor, so you will not have the privileges of tourists staying in the resilient corridor. I think you should quarantine as soon as you land in Kingston. If you are travelling for business, you will be tested upon arrival and then under “Stay at the address provided for businesses”. I recommend asking the hotel where you want to stay how to proceed, or www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/traveller-categories/ for more details. Additional restrictions may be imposed suddenly. Airlines may also suspend or reduce flights without notice. Your travel plans can be severely disrupted, making it difficult for you to return home. Consider even your transit points, as transit rules apply to many destinations. Hi Sharon.
A destination wedding would fall into the category of tourism, as long as you stay in the elastic hallway, have a negative test, and have no symptoms, you wouldn`t have to quarantine. If your accommodation is approved and in the elastic hallway can be found here: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/#Approved travel restrictions may still change these days, so check again in July before traveling. When travelling with a temporary passport or emergency travel document, different entry requirements may apply. Before leaving, check with the diplomatic mission closest to your destination. What is the curfew in Jamaica? Jamaica`s curfew ended in March 2022. Hello, Wendy. The Visit Jamaica is the official Jamaica travel requirements website. Since your test is technically done at home, even if it is checked by a clinician, I personally would not risk it.
It may be acceptable to return to the UK, but perhaps not to enter Jamaica. We don`t track UK traveller data very carefully (simply because the majority of our readers are from the US and the rules vary by country), but I mentioned that you can get tested at Boots or Lloyds in the UK. The Boots antigen test has been confirmed as accepted. I also saw a trick to scan both QR codes from the NHS app before arriving at the airport in case there was no wifi. Mexico is not currently on Jamaica`s list, so you are allowed to enter after passing through Mexico. Of course, this can always change. You can check the “Before departure and arrival” section of this page before your trip to prohibited countries within 14 days of your visit to Jamaica: www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/ If you are visiting the tourist area, usually referred to as the elastic corridor, you must stay in a licensed hotel and can only visit approved attractions or restaurants. If you`re staying at an airbnb, these rules don`t apply. Keep in mind that the curfew is at 9:00 p.m., so there`s not much nightlife.
