Jamaica Now Requires a COVID-19 Test Taken Within 72 Hours for Travelers

After a recent rise in COVID-19 cases, Jamaica is tightening its testing restrictions for visitors.

Starting March 10, anyone arriving in Jamaica will be required to present a negative COVID-19 test, taken within three days of their arrival. Previously, tests were accepted from up to 10 days before. The order applies to all travelers aged 12 or older.

Travelers can use Jamaica's Online Test Calculator to determine when they should take their tests before their trip. Jamaica will only accept PCR, NAA, RNA or antigen tests for entry.

Before visiting, travelers must complete an online travel authorization form anywhere from two to five days before their trip. After completing the form, travelers will undergo a health risk assessment, then receive their travel authorization form which they must show at the airport in order to enter Jamaica.
