https://ru.ivisa.com/jamaica-travel-authorization

You are planning a trip to Jamaica, for any reason (business, family reunions, etc.). there is some very important information you need to have in front of you. This application will tell you everything from where to get a passport to when you can leave and go back to Jamaica. Here's everything you need to know.

Before you can travel to another country, you will first need to apply for your Jamaica Travel Authorization. Once you click that, it will ask you whether you actually live in Jamaica or whether you are a non-resident of that other country. Click on "No" if you don't live in Jamaica. This will take you to National Portrait Gallery website where you can fill out the forms. Once you have provided all necessary information, you can check-in electronically at your port of call.

If you're Jamaica-bound and you need to leave the island at any time, you'll need to check-in with the Jamaica Gardening Authority. This is basically the equivalent of a US customs office. The Gardening Authority provides important information about Jamaica, including social distancing markers as well as the procedures for entering and leaving the island. It is a good idea to visit the Jamaica Gardening Authority before leaving the island. You can even complete a Jamaica Travel Authorization Form at home and print it out. It is a great resource to have on hand for any emergency situations.

After you have applied for your Jamaica Travel Authorization, you will need to undergo a drug test at the designated Jamaica Health Office. Failure to pass will result in you being required to follow all approved social distancing procedures as approved by the Gardening Authority of Jamaica. If you pass, you'll get a positive identification card and be allowed to proceed to another screening center. Keep in mind that if your Jamaica Travel Authorization was granted based on a negative covid-19 test, you will be required to undergo a second drug test. After passing the drug test, you will be issued a Jamaica travel authorization card with a red lock.

 

However, keep in mind that not all countries require you to pass a drug test upon entry or exit from their territory. In cases where the subject failed a drug test and still obtained approval to enter the Jamaica, it is possible that the failed test was the sole determining factor for approval. In such cases, the Jamaica Travel Authorization may be null and void. You will not be permitted to proceed with your travel plans. You may however request a refund for the amount of money paid for your Jamaica Travel Authorization. Only the Gardening and Social Distancing Units of Jamaica can legally cancel your travel plan.

The Jamaica Travel Authorization is valid three years, or six years if you have a negative covid-19/pcr test. You can apply for an extended Jamaica Travel Authorization if your Jamaica Travel Authorization expires during your Jamaica Travel Permit. The Gardening and Social Distancing Units of Jamaica do not issue final decisions for extensions. However, once you have obtained a negative covid-19 pcr prescription from the Gardening and Social Distancing Unit of Jamaica and your application for an extension has been approved, you may apply for an additional six years period. The Gardening and Social Distancing Unit of Jamaica can answer any questions regarding the validity of your Jamaica Travel Authorization.
