When the Jamaica travel restrictions applied, the government was forced to temporarily suspend all official visits to the island, including those by the governor of the capital, Kingston, and the head of the country’s national police.
That meant that for the first time in nearly a decade, visitors to the Caribbean nation could not come to the capital.
The restrictions had been in place since July and were being imposed to address the spread of the coronavirus, which is believed to have killed more than 2,000 people in the Caribbean country.
The Government said that as a result, the number of tourists visiting the country had fallen by more than half, while the number going to Jamaica itself had risen by almost a third.
How does the travel restrictions affect me?
If you’re travelling from the Caribbean island of Dominica to Jamaica, or if you are a visiting parent, you can no longer visit the country and your children must remain at home.
There are restrictions on what can be done, and if you plan to visit, you need to check your passport, travel documents and itinerary for your flight.
If you plan a trip to Jamaica for the holidays, you may need to make a booking in advance.
You can book online at www.traveljamaicas.com or by phone at (08) 9290 4388.
You must also bring a photocopy of your passport to show at any point.
How can I check if I’m allowed to travel?
You must apply for a travel permit online.
The visa application is available in several languages.
You need to fill in a form explaining your plans to travel to Jamaica and show proof of your identity, passport and visa.
Your application will be reviewed and you will then be sent a letter confirming that your travel plan has been approved.
It will also include instructions on how to get a visa, which you must then take to a port of entry.
If your visa is denied, you will be required to reapply.
You will also need to provide proof of a travel package, such as a travel agent’s letter or a package from a travel company.
What if I don’t have a visa yet?
If your passport and travel documents are still not approved, you must wait until your visa expires.
If it’s a valid travel document, you cannot stay in Jamaica without a visa.
If not, you’ll need to get one.
There is a two-month waiting period for new visas.
What happens if I lose my visa?
If the passport is not approved for you, you are unable to apply for another visa until you are approved for one.
You’ll then need to return to your home country and apply for an extension of the visa, a process that may take several months.
If the visa is still not in your possession, it can be returned.
If there is no valid travel permit for you to stay in the country, you have to leave the country or apply for asylum.
What does the Government do about the coronovirus?
The Government has launched an anti-bioterrorism program, Operation Tangerine, to contain the spread.
It has also launched the Caribbean Travel Initiative, an effort to prevent the spread and spread of coronaviruses.
There have been calls for more funding for the program and for a greater focus on prevention.
How do I get around the travel restriction?
To go to the airport in Jamaica, you’re required to show a passport, which shows you are authorised to travel on a government-issued travel document.
There’s no charge to travel, and you can book tickets online.
If, for example, you plan on visiting Kingston and would like to go to a restaurant in the city, you could book a room and pay for your own meals, but there is a limit of five per person.
If someone is visiting from a country where you’re not allowed to go, you might have to pay extra for an airport parking pass, which can be used to get into the airport without a passport.
Where can I buy food, drink and clothing?
You can buy food at many restaurants and retail outlets, such that you can eat in front of the TV or monitor your phone.
You also can buy clothing and other items on the internet and at stores.
The government says you should have a passport or travel document that proves your identity before you can buy.
What are the options if I can’t get a passport?
If there are no official travel restrictions in place, you should be able to get on a plane or boat.
However, if you can’t go to Jamaica because you don’t live in the island nation, you still have options.
If that’s not possible, you do have the option of getting a passport from your country of nationality.
The process is quite different to the one required to go overseas.
If in the past you were denied entry into the country because of a visa problem, you would need to apply again.
