Question

DO I NEED A PASSPORT TO GO TO JAMAICA?

Answer

Yes! Passports are required to travel to Jamaica and must be valid for 6 months after travel as well. Getting a passport is a long process! Especially during the pandemic (14 Weeks). So don’t let this tedious process prevent you from coming to our celebration! APPLY EARLY! It is recommended to apply AT LEAST 6 MONTHS before planned trip on the government website. First U.S. passport? Lost your passport? Passport older than 15 years? You will need to apply IN PERSON which will take longer. Renewals can be done online, but be sure you meet all the requirements. Our recommendation would be to get the process started before November 2021!
