The Jamaica government Friday announced that nationals travelling to the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda for vacation or to conduct business would no longer require a visa.
But Foreign Affairs Minister AJ Nicholson told the Senate that for Jamaicans to be able to take advantage of the waiver, they must be in possession of a multi-entry visa to the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
“Jamaican nationals who hold such multiple entry visas for the USA, Canada or the UK must be careful to ensure that the visas are valid for a minimum of 45 days after the expiry of the planned stay in Bermuda. They must also ensure that their Jamaican passports have a validity of at least 45 days after the expiry of their planned stay,” Nicholson said.
Nicholson said that Jamaica a few weeks ago signed an agreement with Brazil to facilitate visa free travel for Jamaicans to that South American country.
