My family and I are going to Jamaica this August. We're all set, but this C5-Form has me stumped. It asks if we're bringing any pharmaceuticals. Now, we’re not talking anything wild here—just your standard Tylenol, some Pepto, and our must-haves like insulin and ADHD meds for the kids, all in their original bottles and just enough for our stay. Do we need to declare stuff like Tylenol or just the prescription meds?
iVisa

For your trip to Jamaica, you need to declare all prescription medications like insulin and ADHD meds on the C5-Form. Over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol or Pepto do not need to be declared unless they are in large quantities. Always keep medications in their original packaging to avoid any issues at customs.

I’m heading back to Jamaica from the US after my first time away from home. I’ll be there for 1 month before heading back to uni in Atlanta. I know I have to fill out the C5 form when I get to Kingston, but I just came across something called an exit form. Is this something I need to fill out when I leave for the States? Where do I get it?
iVisa
October 3 2024
When leaving Jamaica to return to the US, you don't need to fill out an exit form. The C5 form is only required upon entry. However, make sure to check any updates or changes with your airline in case new regulations have been implemented.

I'm traveling from London to Kingston, Jamaica, but it’s a bit of a trek with a layover each way. I’m working through the C5 form and I’m stuck at the flight number section. Should I list the flight from London, or the one that actually gets me into Jamaica?
iVisa
October 3 2024
On the C5 form, you should list the flight number of the plane that actually lands in Jamaica. This is the flight that takes you from your last layover directly into Jamaica, as it is the most relevant for local immigration and customs officials.
Questions?
Which meds should I declare on the form?
