I've done work permits and citizenship applications (I became a citizen several years ago which was a years long process full of all kinds of crap) - I've just never had to deal with a visitor visa for someone before in JA. Trying to help out an Ethiopian associate and for some reason Jamaica requires visitors visas for nationals from most African and middle eastern countries - but anyone from the so-called "first world" can just show up on arrival for holidays. Hopefully having a Jamaican citizen in their corner can help my friend's thing move a little faster
