1. Post grants country clearance to ISA representatives Constance
Arvis and Patricia Kraniotis for travel to Jamaica August 6, 2006
through August 19, 2006. Post understands the travelers are to
participate in the ISA Twelfth Session of the Assembly of the
International Seabed Authority in Kingston.


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 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.
