Planning to travel to Jamaica? You may need a C5 Form. You can apply for your C5 Form with us before you travel.

Find out everything you need to know about applying here.

What is the Jamaica C5 Form?

The Jamaica C5 Form is the online version of the Immigration and Customs Declaration required for all air passengers entering Jamaica. It allows air passengers to submit their travel and personal details online in advance.

While some airlines may provide the form for free during your flight or at the airport, completing it in advance can help avoid potential delays or errors.

Learn more about the Jamaica C5 Form

Who needs to fill out the C5 Form?

All individuals entering Jamaica by air, regardless of nationality or residency status, are required to complete the C5 Form. This includes:

  • Jamaican citizens returning to the island

  • Non-residents traveling for leisure, business, or other purposes

Some exceptions apply to certain travelers, such as diplomatic personnel or transit passengers who do not clear immigration in Jamaica. If you're unsure about your situation, confirm with your airline or Jamaican immigration authorities.

iVisa pro tip: Traveling to Jamaica means going from chilly airport AC to tropical warmth in no time. Wear layers for your flight so you can adjust as needed. It’s the easiest way to stay comfortable from takeoff to touchdown.

How long is the C5 Form valid?

The C5 Form is valid for a single entry to Jamaica and must be presented at customs upon arrival. If you plan to visit Jamaica multiple times, you will need to complete a new form for each trip.

When should you complete the C5 Form?

Travelers are encouraged to complete and submit the C5 Form online before landing in Jamaica. The form can be completed up to 30 days before your trip.

How to fill out a C5 Form

We make it easy to complete the C5 customs form:

  • Step 1: Give your personal and travel details on our website or the iVisa app.

  • Step 2: Double-check your information and then pay the fees.

  • Step 3: Complete the rest of the application and submit it once you’re done.

Benefits of applying online before your trip

Applying for the Jamaica C5 Form on your own can be a real test of patience. One traveler shared their experience:

“Yesterday, I completed the C5 online for my husband. It took several tries with the same error over and over... not my error; the form cleared what I typed in and then showed an error message.”

It’s frustrating to spend so much time filling out a form only to feel like you’re stuck in an endless loop of error messages. With us, those headaches are a thing of the past. Our simplified version of the C5 Form is easy to complete and takes less than 20 minutes.

Once you’re done, we’ll review your form to ensure all your details are accurate before submitting it directly to the Jamaican government. It’s fast, stress-free, and designed to save you from the hassles of doing it alone.

Can you make changes to the C5 Form after submission?

No, changes cannot be made to the C5 Form after submission. If you need to update any details, you must complete and submit a new form.

Do children and spouses need separate forms?

Yes, every traveler, regardless of age, must complete an individual C5 Form. Even if family members are listed on one form, separate submissions are required for customs clearance.

Are there alternatives to the C5 Form?

Currently, there are no alternatives to the Jamaica C5 Form for air travelers. This form is mandatory and must be completed before customs clearance.

iVisa travel hack: If your suitcase doesn’t show up on the carousel, don’t panic just yet. Baggage handlers often move bags off the belt to make room for incoming luggage. Check the area around the carousel before assuming your luggage is lost—it’s probably sitting there waiting for you.

Why choose us for your Jamaica C5 Form?

By using our services, you can avoid last-minute stress and ensure your form is completed accurately. Here’s what one of our satisfied customers had to say:

"Filling out the Jamaica C5 Form felt like another thing to worry about before my trip, but using iVisa’s service made it so simple. Everything was clear, and I had my form ready before I even packed my bags. It was such a relief to arrive and go through customs without any stress." – Sophia M, Canada

Tips for a smooth entry

Upon arrival in Jamaica:

  • Have your passport, C5 Form confirmation, and any other necessary documents ready for inspection.
  • Be prepared to answer questions regarding your stay, such as the purpose of your visit and where you will be staying.
  • Follow any current health protocols, including presenting vaccination records if required.
