FAQs
Question
DO I NEED A PASSPORT TO TRAVEL TO JAMAICA?
Answer
Yes! Also, make sure to check the expiration date. The passport or other travel document must be valid for at least six (6) months from the intended date of travel.
Question
DO I NEED A VISA?
Answer
If you are a U.S. citizen, you do NOT need a visa. Americans aren't required to have a visa to enter Jamaica. Jamaica provides visa-free entry for all American citizens. American citizens can stay up to 30 days without a business visa and 180 days without a tourist visa.
Question
JAMAICA TRAVEL POLICIES?
Answer
Jamaica and the US both have travel safety policies in place for traveling internationally. These policies have been ever-changing and some policies may change by the time of your departure to Jamaica. Though some of these policies may change before May 2025, it is best to plan on the current policies today to still be in place when you travel.
Question
SHOULD I RENT A CAR?
Answer
In short - we do not recommend driving. Driving in Jamaica requires adapting to the local driving rules and habits. Driving in Jamaica is on the left side of the road (opposite the U.S.). This requires a certain level of adaptation and dexterity. There are many unspoken rules of the road that can be daunting to someone who has never driven in Jamaica. Please drive at your own risk, if you decide to.
Question
HOW DOES CURRENCY/MONEY WORK IN JAMAICA?
Answer
Most major credit cards are accepted at larger establishments. However, cash will be needed for parts of your trip. Although you can use USD at a lower rate, we encourage you to exchange cash prior to landing in Jamaica. This can be done at your local bank or credit union in the United States. Should you need to transfer money while in Jamaica, you can visit the local Western Union or other money transfer locations. Also, please note, many Jamaican prices at the local market and in the taxi are negotiable. So feel VERY comfortable with talking prices down if you feel they are unfair.
Question
CURRENCY?
Answer
Jamaica’s currency is the Jamaican Dollar, although the USD is widely accepted, and most restaurants/bars/shops/excursion companies accept credit cards. We recommend exchanging currency with your local bank before arriving in Jamaica, as you will get the best value using their dollar compared to ours. Do NOT exchange money at the Montego Bay Airport as they do not offer competitive exchange rates.
