Ready. Set. Lets GO JAMAICA!!

As of Monday June 15th, Jamaica reopened itโ€™s borders to international travelers. The past few months have indeed been hard on all of us. So, finding ways for healthy living with COVID-19 which includes proactive practices for us to remain safe and responsible while traveling is a must. Jamaica is now ready with a plan of action to do just that!

COVID19-Reopen-JTB3-banner

In Phase 1, which runs from June 15 โ€“ 30, all travelers should be aware of changes in the entry requirements. All persons intending to travel to Jamaica will now be required to secure a Travel Authorization form found and completed online. Also, as part of additional risk management measures, and to ensure that residents and visitors stay safe, Jamaica will require all high-risk passengers, upon arrival, to submit to a mandatory PCR-(nasal) swab-test. All persons arriving from countries where there is high community transmission will be tested.

COVID19-Reopen-Travel-Auth
Just to reiterate, the new procedures for travelers arriving in Jamaica are as follows:
Pre-Departure
  • Secure approval online for the Travel Authorization. This is to be completed within 72 hours of checking in. This is a requirement for checking in for your flight.
  • Passengers are encouraged to purchase appropriate travel insurance for their journey. TLC Travels’ Tours & Cruises can assist you with this too.
  • Wear face masks and practice physical distancing throughout the journey.
During the Flight
  • Follow the protocols established by the airline for a comfortable flight to Jamaica.
  • Practice physical distancing and good hand hygiene to the extent possible.
Upon Arrival
  • Wear face mask in all public spaces while in Jamaica.
  • Have Travel Authorization available for the Health and Immigration Officials.
  • Be prepared to follow the instructions of these Officials.
  • Proceed through immigration, customs and transfer to your Hotel/Resort accommodation where you will โ€œStay in Placeโ€, typically 24-48hrs, while awaiting your test results.

Again, this applies to Phase 1 of the reopening and runs to June 30. More information for future travel dates will be shared as it becomes available.
