1. Post grants country clearance to Loretta McNeir (TSAR)
and TSA Security Inspectors Beverly Laners and Herman

carriers operating to the U.S.


2. The Control Officer for this visit will be Regional
Security Officer Michael Limpantsis, telephone number
(876) 935-6000 x2218.

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
Jamaica. However, Jamaica has been designated a high
threat country because of street crime. It is
recommended that caution be exercised while traveling in
Kingston. Walking after dark is not advised. Care
should be taken if driving at night. Overall, the same
level of awareness should be exercised as in a similar
sized city in the United States.


6. Travelers' checks can be exchanged for Jamaican
dollars at a local bank located near the Embassy. ATM
machines are also available.
