Oh! I do apologize if my information was misleading or confusing

"You will not need fingerprinting in Jamaica for your work permit...you will need to provide a police record from your current home town (which may or may not require fingerprinting) but regardless you do not have to go to Sav...they do NOT do this is Sav."
In my experience fingerprinting is/was necessary. Perhaps its because of the current home town requirement? Maybe if you are from a certain country or city it is not required. Also, in my experience Sav WAS the place to go - maybe not anymore? I know some people that have a police officer come to their house to fingerprint them and they also take care of getting the prints where they need to be in Kingston. They pay a fee for that service.

Like Bnewb said, do as much as you can online - how refreshing! Back in the day there would be at least two trips to Kingston for this purpose (getting the work permit) but these days with the internet that may be a thing of the past.

Carry on!
