Jamaica removes the travel authorization requirement and movement restrictions
Travel to Jamaica has become easier with the relaxation of COVID-19 travel restrictions. Effective March 1, 2022, travellers no longer need to obtain a Travel Authorization to travel to the island. In addition, mandatory quarantine order assignments have also been removed for all arriving passengers and persons are free to move within the island while maintaining social distance and mask wearing protocols in public spaces.
However, travellers 12 years and older will still need to provide a negative COVID-19 test (Antigen or PCR) conducted within 3 days of the date of travel at check-in for their flight.
