GENERAL INFORMATION ON JAMAICA - for guidance only!
Crime
In view of the high levels of crime and violence including kidnapping, you should follow these common sense guidelines: Be particularly alert for thieves. Do not offer resistance in the event of an attempted robbery. You are advised against walking at night or using public transport. Only taxis authorised by the Jamaica Union of Travellers Association and ordered from hotels for your sole use (i.e. unshared) should be used. Do not give lifts to strangers and keep car doors and windows locked. You should be careful when travelling to and from Kingston airport. The Mountain View route should generally be avoided. There have also been incidents (including temporary road blocks) on the alternative Humming Bird Route, specifically on lower South Camp Road. Travel by this route during the day should be trouble-free but take local advice before setting out on journeys after dark.
Occasional public order incidents and demonstrations, sometimes violent, can occur in various parts of Kingston and Montego Bay. Gang violence and shootings are usually concentrated in inner city neighbourhoods, including West Kingston, Tivoli Gardens, Grant’s Pen, August Town, Harbour View, Spanish Town and Montego Bay (but not the resort areas), but can occur in other areas.
There have been incidents involving British tourists on the north coast. The motive for most attacks seems to be robbery. Although the Jamaican government have a system of mobile police patrols, there is a risk in walking alone in isolated areas even in daylight hours. We recommend against walking alone on beaches or at night and travelling in unlicensed vehicles.
Burglary involving violence is not uncommon. Most hotels and resorts are well guarded. But longer-term visitors and residents should pay particular attention to their accommodation security eg ensure proper door locks and window grilles are fitted and consider employing a guard and/or fitting a house alarm. Gated/guarded compounds represent the safest accommodation in the Kingston area.
Some of those returning to permanently resettle in Jamaica have been the target of particular criminal attention. Incidents of violence including murder have resulted. It is therefore particularly important to seek the advice and assurance of the Jamaican authorities, through: Jamaican Representation in London.
You should still maintain vigilance even when staying with family or friends.
In the event of an emergency, call 119 for police and 110 for an ambulance.
Road Safety
Driving conditions in Jamaica can be hazardous and care should be taken, particularly at night.
You are permitted to drive on a UK driving licence for up to six months.
LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS
There are severe penalties for all drug offences. Possession of even small quantities can lead to imprisonment. All sentences are served in Jamaica. Prison conditions are harsh. Pack all luggage yourself and do not carry anything through customs for someone else.
Jamaica has a number of laws which make certain homosexual acts illegal.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
British nationals do not require visas to enter Jamaica. However, overstaying without the proper authority is viewed as a serious matter. You can be held in detention and may be fined.
Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. For further information on entry requirements, visitors are advised to check with: Jamaican Representation in London.
The importation of meat and dairy products from the UK is banned. Customs officials are liable to search all baggage and concealed foodstuffs will be impounded and destroyed.
HEALTH
We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling.
Medical treatment can be expensive. Private medical facilities are of a reasonable standard but can vary throughout the island.
Visitors should be aware of the prevalence of HIV/AIDs in Jamaica and take precautions to avoid exposure.
For further information on health, check the Department of Health’s website at: www.dh.gov.uk.
NATURAL DISASTERS
Hurricanes may occur during the rainy season, which is between June and November. Jamaica also lies in the earthquake zone. Visitors should make themselves aware of weather conditions through the local media or by accessing http://www.weather.com, Tropical Update.
GENERAL
You should check the departure tax (1,000 Jamaican Dollars) is included in the cost of their air ticket. |
