1. Embassy Kingston grants country clearance to EPA David Godwin,
Environmental Engineer, Office of Air and Radiation, Environmental
Protection Agency, to travel to Jamaica August 25 to September 5,
2006, to attend a workshop on "Alternative (Ozone-Friendly)
Technologies" in Kingston, Jamaica. Embassy point of contact is
Economic Officer John Morgan who can be reached at (w) 876-935-6028.
2. Embassy understands that no further assistance is requested.
3. Visitors traveling to Jamaica for periods less than two weeks do
not require a visa.
4. 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.
5. Travelers' checks can be exchanged for Jamaican dollars at a
local bank located near the Embassy. ATM machines are also
available.
