Instructions were straightforward, and the reply was fast. This process surely helps in a smooth transition going through custom.
In the past, I don’t remember needing a visa to go to Jamaica, but evidently now you do. The application process is very simple and fast and turnaround time on receiving your visa is exceptionally quick.
My check in was completed in time for me to make the flight. The man issuing the wheelchair was gentle & kind. He handled me with care The person pushing the wheelchair was fast & polite. He made me feel confident that he was able to get me safe to my destination. I didn't have to stress about anything. Thank U!
It was very straightforward to complete the Jamaica Immigration advance information on the site. Great.
One issue. Why does the arriving airport only show Norman Manley international instead of providing alternatives such as Sangster International in Montego Bay which is the one I needed?
I was able to communicate with customer services quite easily and my issue was resolved quickly.
Process is easy to understand and there were no complex questions. Website is easy and simple.
Questions are straightforward to answer... not complicated at all but, too many websites for the same thing that also charging at the end of application for how quick you the landing documents. One was charging almost £100 to receive it in 10 mins...
I guess we are all nervous about getting a visa, but this site made the process easy and painless. I definitely will use them again.
Very simple application process and email to you within a couple weeks

Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a Jamaica C5 Form even if I don't need a visa?
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.
Do I need a visa for Jamaica?
It depends on your nationality. Visa-free: Citizens of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many Commonwealth/CARICOM countries can enter Jamaica for tourism without a visa (usually for up to 90 days). Visa required: Citizens of certain countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East must apply for a visa through a Jamaican consulate prior to travel. C5 Form requirement: Regardless of visa status, the C5 Form is mandatory for all air passengers.
How will I receive the Jamaica C5 Form?
You will receive a confirmation receipt containing a QR code via email. You must show this QR code to the immigration officer at the airport. You can present it on your phone or as a printed document. Official government advice suggests taking a screenshot of the QR code/confirmation page in case you have trouble accessing your email upon landing. You can also find a copy of your C5 Form QR code and confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.
How long can I stay in Jamaica?
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.
When should I apply for the C5 Form?
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.
