All air passengers must complete a C5 customs form before passing through customs at the airport. More information:

• You can fill out the form within 24 hours before your trip starts.

• It is a single entry card.

• It is available to all nationalities permitted to enter the country. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay in Jamaica.
