Entry requirements
Visitors from North America, the UK and Australasia do not need a visa and are allowed stays of up to six months without one. US and Canadian citizens don't need a passport but do need proof of citizenship, either in the form of a valid passport, a birth certificate supported by a driver's licence with photo or a voter registration card supported by a driver's licence with photo.
On arrival, your passport will be stamped by an immigration officer who may ask you for proof of adequate funds, where you're staying during your holiday (you may be delayed if you can't name a place) and evidence of a return or onward flight.
If you want to stay for longer than six months, it's possible to apply for an extension for up to twelve further months; contact the Ministry of National Security, located at the Mutual Life Buiding, North Tower, 2 Oxford Rd, Kingston 10 ( 
876/906 4908 to 4933, 
www.mns.org.jm ) or, in Montego Bay, the Immigartion Office at Overton Plaza, Union St ( 952 5381).
