Thanks for the information. I happen to the traveling on the 10th, uploaded my negative test results Monday. Still waiting on Pre-travel authorization from JA govt. Is the authorization form still required going forward? A bit concerned I haven’t received it!

Sandytoes,

You are right on the new policy date. You are not required to have any Travel Authorization so I doubt you will get one.

Go to the JTB website and ask them directly. I think that you are good to go.

Unable to get through to tourist board. Received email from AA stating Travellers must complete travel authorization form online, which I have done. States nothing about having to show the form at check in. Sigh! Hopefully if proof of completion is needed, it will arrive in time to make my flight.

Fill it out and ask them. They are the JTB. AA may not be giving you the correct information. Go to the source and receive the updated information.

Sent two emails to JTB support via visitjamaica.com, sent text via WhatsApp to number provided in this forum, no response as yet.

Prime Minister spoke before Parliament Tuesday providing the changes to testing requirements. Beginning Saturday Oct 10 uploading test results is not required, must bring a copy with you to present at airport. Travel authorizations are still required.

Hoping I receive approval by midnight tomorrow October 9, otherwise looks like I will need to cancel my vacay. Life is funny sometimes, never know what may happen. Keeping positive vibes and hoping for the best!
