Current COVID-19 Protocols (subject to change):

-Each traveler 12 years or older will need to take a PCR or antigen COVID-19 test within 3 days of departure. For the test date, Jamaica considers the day of departure as day zero. EXAMPLE: If your departure date is 1/3/22, then the earliest you can take the test is 12/31/21 (test date calculator tool can be found at: https://www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/#Calculator). It is important that you use your full name for your COVID-19 tests so it matches the name on your passport. You'll need to bring a printed copy of your negative lab test results to show at the airport.

-----It is important that you read the specific testing requirement details available at https://www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/test-req/

-----Please note that samples collected using at-home kits and antibody tests are not accepted.

-----Many travelers have had good experiences with the 24-hour rapid COVID-19 test at places like Walgreens and CVS.

​

-Each traveler will need to complete the online Travel Authorization Form (https://www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/) for Jamaica prior to departure. The earliest this form can be completed is seven days prior to departure. For the travel authorization form, Jamaica considers the day of departure as day zero. EXAMPLE: If your departure date is 1/3/22, then the earliest you can complete the travel authorization form is 12/27/21.

-----An FAQ and sample travel authorization form are available at: https://www.visitjamaica.com/travelauthorization/tas/

-----Once your form has been submitted, you should receive a response via email with your approval. You'll need to print out a copy of the authorization email with the QR code to show at the airport.

-----This travel authorization form serves the purpose of your C5 immigration form too, so you won't need to complete a separate immigration form prior to departure.

​

-You will need to wear a face covering on your flights, in the airports, and in the transportation vehicles to/from the resort.

​

-Upon arrival in Jamaica, they will perform a health screening and risk assessment. The health screening may include: temperature checks, observation of symptoms, and a short interview with a health officer. They may perform a COVID-19 test (nasal/throat swab) if you are exhibiting symptoms or belong to a high risk group. NOTE: you may see members of the Jamaican Defense Force (JDF) at the airport - basically police officers with guns - because they are under a disaster preparedness plan for the response to COVID-19.
