    Exactly to the point. When you fill out the Immigration Form you can't as a Foreign Visitor leave it blank and expect to enter Jamaica. I have always had a return flight listed (regardless of the time in Jamaica either less than or over 90 days). A few times they have asked to see the return flight information and I show it but that is usually when I am staying over 90 days. They will only stamp 90 days regardless of your return date which will force you to go and apply for an extension.

    Has anyone on the board (non-Jamaican) not had a return flight ticket and left the information on the Immigration Form blank and got their entry stamped? Maybe in the past but I don't think so now. I would like to know if anyone has. Thanks.

    As a matter of fact, yes...but I'm sure I'm not the "(non-Jamaica)" that should be answering. It entails having residency or work permits and you'll also get to go through the much quicker Jamaican immigration line.

    When I had residency and work permit (1969 - 1984) it was not a problem. I flew in one way the first time and when I wanted to go to the States I'd buy my round trip Jamaica - US - Jamaica and pay with Ja dollars. Never did buy a return one way to the US. When I left JA "for good" I was hired to captain a racing yacht from MoBay to Key West. Boat was named HAVOC.... well named as it turned out.

    I don't think it works that way now although I've been told that getting residency would be easy for me. However, I have no expectation of staying more that 3 months at a time..if that long.

    Thanks David.

    That is a new one to me. Used the old one last year. Talk to you in a couple of weeks.
