Travelling to Jamaica

[Boisdeslandes]

I am travelling to Jamaica very soon and understand that you do not need a visa to enter the country for a holiday. Can anyone confirm if this is right? Also are there any forms that you have to fill in when travelling to get entry? Do they turn you back if you have criminal convictions?

It seems it depends on which passport you hold, but with a UK passport you don't need a visa

There are 2 forms you fill in.Not sure if they ask about criminal convictions.You need the address where you are staying,how long,business or pleasure.That kind of thing.There are also questions like whether you have over a certain sum of money. If you are carrying firearms (????).Sorry I can't remember exactly what.Not been this year.We normally go every year!Have a great time.I'd speak to the Jamaican Embassy in London if you really need to know about the convictions bit.
