CARICOM visitor entry — 6-month tourist stay, no visa
INFOYour JM CARICOM citizenship gives you up to 6 months of visitor entry to other CARICOM Member States without a visa. Bring a return/onward ticket (most non-BBC4 destinations require it) and a passport valid for the duration of your stay. To stay longer or work, see the Skilled National option above.
Check-in agents may not know CARICOM rights — carry documentation
WARNCARICOM free movement is your legal right, but airline check-in is the common failure point — agents are trained on standard visa rules, not regional treaties. Carry your CARICOM citizenship documentation and a printout (or open this Travel Brief on your phone) referencing the specific article — Article 45 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas for the general right of free movement, Article 46 for the Skilled National right, or the 2025-10-01 Enhanced Cooperation declaration for BBC4-internal travel.
