Your passport

A passport that's in date can still be full, so check it has two blank pages as well as enough time left for your stay. Everyone travels on their own passport, every child included, and children's passports last five years against an adult's ten, so check each when you book and renew anything close, since a new one takes weeks.

Before you travel

Getting in

You don't need a visa to visit Jamaica, and you're given entry for up to 90 days. The officer stamps your permitted departure date into your passport when you arrive, so you'll know exactly how long you have. Before you travel, everyone completes the online Immigration and Customs form, known as the C5, at enterjamaica.com.

Every child needs their own passport, however young.
