Extension

[Babalew]

surely you jest! Jamaica will never turn down the chance to make a dollar. I had an extension and stayed during the pandemic. I only needed
2 extra weeks and took my extension to the date i had planned on leaving. When i needed to extend my extension, i thought they would just extend my current extension to the full 90 days. No, I had to get another extension for 90 days from my original departure date before my 1st extension. Lesson learned, when I get an extension, get it for the full 90 days regardless of when i am leaving. I book with southwest and can change my dates without penalty.

Thanks for the reply. I thought maybe they might change it to avoid potential exposures. Going to Mo Bay is really crazy during this time . It's not the money. Do it online and collect the money. Oh well. 3 months instead of 4 this year. IRIE

Why 3 months instead of 4. Take a licensed red plate, properly sanitized taxi to MoBay. Practise social distancing, wear a mask and get the extension. Jamaica can use the extra support and the 90 day visitors visa is not a Jamaica money making thing. Every country in the world has limits on how long you can stay without applying to become a resident. As for the number 90 days instead of 6 months, I think that's a commonwealth Nations thing, I might be wrong.

Browns-- You have valid point. I have a red plate driver so no problem there but if JA is anything like here(NYS not city) some people refuse to wear a mask and practice social distance. Will it be any different in JA. The last time I went to extend there were a lot people sitting in a fully enclosed room waiting and waiting. I hope the Jamaicans follow the rules better than here where people think they have a right to endanger other people. IRIE

72 Orange...it's completely different than when you've last visited immigration.
They are super strict...everyone is masked, 6ft apart and just by the nature of the beast....there's not many people visiting immigration anyways.

And....now you can't go anyplace without a mask and hand sanitizing....many places will also temperature check.

Bnewb, Well that is good news. Lets hope it stays that way and we can always stay longer if everything is good. Probably better than here. JA Bless
