Jamaica Visa
Jamaica tourist visa is not required for citizens of United Kingdom.
- First, check the current validity of your passport. All travelers will need a passport valid for at least 90 days following your departure date from Jamaica. However, we strongly recommend traveling with 6 months validity on your passport at all times. Citizens of United Kingdom can refer to www.ips.gov.uk for forms and instructions for new passport applications and British passport renewals.
- Second, make sure your passport has blank Visa pages. Most destinations, including Jamaica, require that you have adequate un-used pages in your passport, allowing for any necessary stamps upon arrival and departure. We recommend that you have at least two free pages in Visas section of your passport before any international travel. British citizens can get extra passport pages added to their passports at www.ips.gov.uk .
- Finally, confirm if transit visa is required for any connections. Check with your airline in case you have connecting flights overseas as part of your journey to Jamaica. It may be the case that countries you pass through en route to your destination may require a separate transit visa. Please refer to visa requirements of the specific country.

Jamaica is calling for visa restrictions for its citizens travelling to the UK to be dropped, a state minister has confirmed, on a trip to London to mark Windrush 75 celebrations.
The Caribbean island is the only country with the British monarch as head of state that requires visas to enter the UK.
Its new state foreign minister Alando Terrelonge said Jamaicans should be allowed to travel freely to the UK and said the easing of restrictions would “send a right signal of a united Commonwealth”.

Jamaica Travel Guide: Where To Stay, Eat, Drink And Visit
Set to become one of the hottest travel destinations of 2024, a trip to Jamaica is one not to miss.
There are a whole host of reasons to visit Jamaica, not least for the delicious local cuisine, unbelievable beaches, rivers and deep valleys. From the lively music scene and hospitable culture to the soaring temperatures, the Caribbean island is the perfect escape from the gloomy British weather we're accustomed to.
Six hours ahead of the UK, Jamaica's long-haul flight time from London is around nine to eleven hours, which may seem lengthy, but it's definitely worth getting through an extra couple monotonous in-flight films, snacks and a bit of (attempted) shut-eye.
In 2023, Jamaica saw an increase of tourists holidaying there by 17.8%, as discovered by Travel And Tour World . Even more so, it's expected that a total of 250,000 tourists from UK and Ireland will visit by 2025, which is why we're adding Jamaica to our ever-growing bucket list destination list, pronto.
If you want to get ahead of the commotion of what it set to be one of travel's newest trending destination, here's a first-timers guide to Jamaica :
Where to stay in Jamaica
Azul beach resort.
If a resort could be considered as the life and soul of the party, then look no further than Azul Beach Resort. Situated on the coast of Negril, there’s always something going on to keep you occupied. Between Patois lessons by the bar, dancehall classes at the beach deck, live music under the stars and water activities each day, you’ll easily want to extend your stay at this five-star resort.
Geejam Hotel
Nestled away in the luscious rainforest filled hills of Portland, Geejam is a hub of buzzy activity. It’s no wonder this is a regular haunt for musicians, artists, and celebs the world over, the hotel is decked out with recording studios as well as every amenity you could dream of. The bush bar is the perfect spot to lounge in the infinity pool, with panoramic views overlooking the ocean and kick back with one of the house’s signature rum cocktails. Or hop down to the hotel’s private beach for some peace and quiet. It’s the sexiest spot on the island for eating, drinking, and dancing – perfect for the adventurous traveller.
Jamaica Inn
Steeped in history and oozing opulence, The Jamaica Inn hotel is one of the most magical spots on the Island. Visited by Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller on their honeymoon, the quiet property on the pristine beach of Ocho Rios still feels like stepping into an old Hollywood movie; decked out in antique furniture and perfectly groomed lawns and gardens, it’s a haven of peace and quiet. There’s a clientele here who visit year after year and you can instantly see why, you leave feeling utterly serene.
If you're feeling fancy, take a game of croquet on the lawn or pop down to the Sea Shanty bar for a rum punch, previously frequented by Winston Churchill, and soak up the old school charm while drinking in the luscious surroundings. For health lovers, there's a fully decked out spa, yoga classes and a farm to skin foraging workshop guaranteed to leave you feeling nourished, body and soul. There’s no better way to spend a sun filled afternoon.
Kanopi House
Looking to immerse yourself in nature? Look no further than Kanopi House. Set in the rainforest of Portland, these picturesque wooden treehouses are nestled into the natural surroundings, shaded by the vast green trees, perfect for the eco conscious traveller. The treehouses are stylishly decked out in wood, with adjoining outdoor showers to get you straight into eco living.
Head on down for a dip into the blue lagoon at the bottom of the property, the crystal-clear waters are restorative and fall asleep to the symphony of Rainforest sounds and tropical birds surrounding the property. It’s a perfect sanctuary of forest filled tranquillity, the ultimate escape from the daily grind.
For sunseekers, head to Negril, characterised by sweeping white sand beaches and epic sky views from sunup to sundown. Rockhouse is by far the best place to get the best of the Negril coast. Loved by celebs like ELLE ’s cover star Naomi Campbell, Bob Marley, and The Rolling Stones, Rockhouse is Jamaican coastal luxury at its finest. Situated a top the wild cliffs on the west coast of Negril, the hotel offers 360-degree ocean views, with bright blue ocean inlets and pools to explore as well as buzzing restaurants, music, and lively atmosphere, it’s a luxurious escape for any traveller.
Couples Tower Isle
The sweetest getaway for you and your loved one to unwind and rejuvenate in complete privacy in Ocho Rios. Indulge in the finest local produce at the hotel’s Eight Rivers gourmet restaurant or take a romantic glass bottom tour and explore an array of marine line. And of course, there's sunbathing by the beach or you can go au naturel on the resort’s private island.
The Best Restaurants To Visit
Gloria’s seafood city.
Set by Kingston's Ocean Boulevard, Gloria's Seafood City is known as a staple seafood haven in the local area. Serving up everything from honey jerk lobster and curried shrimp to sweet, steamed fish, the delicious food is made better by the stunning pier side views.
Scotchie’s Jerk Centre
To get a real taste of authentic, tenderly cook jerk chicken, Scotchie's in Montego Bay promises just that. Made for dining with family and friends, a taste of their freshly jerked chicken, pork, side dishes and local juices won't leave you disappointed.
Rick’s Cafe
Known for its breath-taking views, you’ll come for the food but must stay for the sunset. Don’t miss the gratinated oysters and char-grilled ribeye and for dessert, Rick’s classic cheese. To make the most of this scenic wonder, its best to arrive between 2-4pm, as you’ll want to spend some time by the water before the sunsets, and if you’re bold enough to brave it, jump off the 35-foot-high cliff.
What To Do During A Day Trip
Dunn’s river falls and park.
Quite possibly one of the top sights that Jamaica has to offer is Dunn's River Falls and Park. Home to the island's tallest waterfall, which stands at 600ft, it flows directly into the Caribbean Sea. Make a day of it and spend time swimming and relaxing in the water. For the thrill seekers, this waterfall is climbable - just make sure you're wearing water shoes and clothes that you won't mind getting wet. Although the journey to the top may seem intimidating, you'll soon find that it's very safe and worth it.
Doctor’s Cave Bathing Club
Ranked as the number one beach in Montego Bay, this bathing club is the closest spot to paradise in this corner of the island. Enjoy numerous restaurants on the beach front, or service straight to your lounger, you'll leave your worries at the entrance of this world-famous bathing club.
Bob Marley Museum Tour
If you're still reeling from the One Love film and are keen to know more about the legend that is Marley, adding a museum tour of his house in Kingston should be a must on your list of things to do. You'll be taken around by a well-educated guide and learn more about the cultural icon's life and the legacy he left behind.
Martha Brae Rafting
Can you really say that you’ve been to Jamaica if you haven’t tried the infamous (and incredibly Instagrammable) river boat-rafting? There are a couples of places to go, but Martha Brae is top of our list. Hop on a handmade bamboo raft, and soak in the serenity as your guide steers you down the river and teaches you about the surrounding areas. Sit back, relax and and let the flow of the river put you at ease in minutes, whilst listening to, and looking out for a variety of exotic birds. If you’re feeling adventurous, try your hand at steering (an unexpected amount of elbow grease is needed) or even take a dip in the water.
Horseback Riding
Calling all horse lovers! No matter your experience level when it comes to horses, this is an inclusive activity for everyone. There are several sites across the island for horseback riding in the ocean, but we suggest doing it by Salmon Point fishing village, just before sunset. As you'll be in the water, wear clothes you won't mind getting wet as well as water shoes to ensure a safe and comfortable grip.

Governor General does not require visa for UK travel - British High Commissioner
British High Commissioner to Jamaica Judith Slater says the Governor General of Jamaica does not require a visa to visit the United Kingdom (UK).
She was responding to a concern raised by Minister of Legal and Constitutional Affairs Marlene Malahoo Forte.
"Independence Constitution of Jamaica 1962 gives deepest protection to British Monarch in Govt of Jamaica. Governor General is personal rep of King Charles III. Why should GG be required to apply for & obtain visa to travel to UK on official business?" Malahoo Forte asked on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
Slater and the UK Home Office, equivalent to Jamaica's Ministry of National Security, were tagged in the query.
The high commissioner answered on Monday morning.
Headlines Delivered to Your Inbox
"The Governor General and Lady Allen are not required to obtain a visa, but rather a vignette, or stamp, is put in their passports which states that they are exempt from requiring visas. This is renewed every 2 years," Slater said on X.
A visa vignette is a sticker that is added to a person's passport when their entry clearance application is approved.
The UK has visa vignettes for entry clearance and for a certificate of entitlement.
Ordinary Jamaicans must obtain a visa to visit the UK, including going to the London-based Privy Council, the country's final court of appeal.
Britain imposed a visa restriction on Jamaica in 2003, arguing that it was an immigration measure. However, critics claimed it was in response to drug and gun-related crimes.
Malahoo Forte is a co-chairperson of the Government's Constitutional Reform Committee, which is tasked with driving the process to have Jamaica de-link from the monarchy and become a republic.
The Government has been criticised for its lack of clarity on the status of the Privy Council in the reform efforts.
Earlier this month, Malahoo Forte said Prime Minister Andrew Holness will in “short order” disclose the administration's position on whether Jamaica should accede to the appellate jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice
The Opposition People's National Party, whose support is needed for the republic transition, said it will not support that push without the simultaneous replacement of the Privy Council.
