Jamaica Drops COVID Pretesting and Mask Requirements

Beginning April 16, 2022, Jamaica will no longer require visitors to take pre-COVID tests before coming to the island. It will also not be mandatory to wear masks in enclosed public areas.

Reminders:

  • Persons 12 years and older travelling prior to April 16, 2022, will need to provide a negative COVID-19 test (PCR or Antigen), which was conducted within 72 hours prior to date of travel at check-in for their flights.
  • All persons travelling to Jamaica will need to fill out the Immigration/Customs C5 form either by submitting the form online using the website https://enterjamaica.com or they may fill out the paper card that is issued by the airline while in flight.
  • Persons who test positive for COVID-19 will be required to isolate.
