Travelling On A Jamaican Passport

VISA Free Countries For Jamaicans | Jamaican Passport

by Sheree-Anita Shearer | Associate Writer

Jamaica hosts millions of visitors yearly, but what if you would love to travel the world with your Jamaican passport? How possible would it be? Are there visa free countries for Jamaicans to travel to?

It is no secret that most Jamaicans try their hardest to get a passport from another country, as it’s seen as better than the Jamaican passport. This is mostly due to the number of countries where certain passports give you VISA-free access.

But, the big three are usually Canada, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. And while these countries' passports rank higher than Jamaica, by Henley and Partner’s standards, the Jamaican passport still comes with its benefits.

Ranking at 62 on the official passport ranking index, a Jamaican passport grants access to 86 countries without the need for a VISA.

Can Jamaicans travel to Europe without a Visa?

The only two European countries granting visa-free access to Jamaican nationals are Russian Federation and Serbia.

What is a Visa on Arrival?

Some countries don’t require selected countries to acquire their visa prior to arrival in the country. Instead, you are allowed to travel to the destination and then apply for your visa there. Some countries allow foreigners to be in the country for a period (up to 30 days) before a visa is required.

What is the difference between an eTA and an eVisa?

You might have seen these words before, but exactly is the difference between them both?

An eTA or Electronic Travel Authorization allows the bearer access to the issuing country, without the need for a visa. Citizens of a visa-exempted country can travel using this where it is required.

An eVisa is just an electronic visa. Usually, the destination country has an app or website where you can apply for certain visas (usually transit or travel) in a shorter time frame than an actual visa would.

The difference between both is that the eTA allows for multiple entries into the destination country for a longer period than an eVisa allows. eVisas usually only grant one entry and can have as little as 2 days (for some transit visas) or up to 90 days.
