for travel to Jamaica, June 7 - June 15, 2006. Post

Bureaus.
2. The Control Officer for this visit will be Economic
Officer John Morgan, telephone number (876) 935-6028; Fax
no. (876) 935-6029.
3. Post confirms that no additional assistance is
required.
4. Visitors traveling to Jamaica for periods less than
two weeks do not require a visa.
5. There has been no specific threat directed against
official American visitors or American tourists who visit

recommended that caution be exercised while traveling in
Kingston. Walking after dark is not advised. Care
