What is the Jamaica C5 form?

The C5 card is the online version of the Jamaica immigration form/customs declaration that all travelers to Jamaica must fill out. Passengers will be able to fill out the C5 form prior to traveling by entering their information online. All air passengers must complete a C5 customs form before passing through customs at the airport. More information:

• You can fill out the form within 24 hours before your trip starts.

• It is a single entry card.

• It is available to all nationalities permitted to enter the country. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay in Jamaica.
