Frequently asked questions

Yes. The C5 Form is an immigration and customs declaration, not a visa. It is mandatory for everyone, including Jamaican citizens, residents, and visa-exempt tourists (like those from the US, UK, or Canada), entering the country by air.

It depends on your nationality. Citizens of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many Commonwealth and CARICOM countries can enter Jamaica for tourism without a visa, usually for up to 90 days. Citizens of certain countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East must apply through a Jamaican consulate before travel. Either way, the C5 Form is mandatory for all air passengers.

You'll receive a confirmation receipt containing a QR code by email. Show that QR code to the immigration officer at the airport, either on your phone or as a printout. Official guidance suggests taking a screenshot of the QR code or confirmation page in case you can't access your email after landing. If you applied through iVisa, a copy is also in your dashboard.

It depends on your nationality and the discretion of the immigration officer. You are typically granted a stay of up to 90 days upon arrival. Note: The actual date you must leave will be stamped in your passport by an officer at the airport. You must apply for any extension before this date expires to avoid penalties or being in breach of immigration laws.

If you wish to stay longer, you can apply for an extension through the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) in Jamaica. Commonwealth citizens can be granted a maximum total stay of up to 12 months as a visitor. Non-Commonwealth citizens can be granted a maximum total stay of up to 6 months as a visitor.

The Jamaica Immigration Service portal allows submissions up to 30 days before arrival or departure. We recommend submitting your details to iVisa ahead of time so we can process it as soon as the window opens.

Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own completed declaration. Parents or guardians can complete the form on behalf of minors. You can use iVisa's 'Add another person' feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

No. It is for single entry/exit only. You must complete a new Jamaica C5 Form registration every time you enter the country.

While there are digital kiosks available at Sangster International (MBJ) and Norman Manley International (KIN) airports, using them can cause significant delays due to queueing. Completing the form before you board your flight is highly recommended to avoid long wait times in the terminal.

One traveler pays from $69.99. Includes all government fees. Faster processing costs more, and every option is priced above.
