10 Best Countries To Visit On A Jamaican Passport

After my last Jamaica related article about what it is like Travelling the world on a Jamaica passport, I have decided to break it down a little to make it even more vivid.

The last article got the attention I least expect and many did not think that travelling to visa-free countries is a possibility.

Now, an article I have never really thought of, thanks to you and your feedback. I am sharing 10 Best Countries to Visit On a  Jamaican Passport.

It is such a pleasure to share this knowledge with you all. But, remember, I am writing this for me, but also for you,  so if there are any more topics or blog post you would like for me to cover, please do not hesitate to drop me a quick Facebook message, email or an Instagram comment. I am reading and I am responding.

I have selected these countries to which I have had first-hand experience with. These are also countries that wouldn’t require too much hassle to visit coming from Jamaica or the other Caribbean Islands.

Here are 10 Best Countries To Visit on A Jamaican Passport, all of which are visa-free. For me, the visa-free part is like music to the ear.

1.Brazil

lapa-rio-2016-brazil

You needed a visa to visit Brazil until February of last year. Now, it’s all visa-free. Before we go any futher, be sure to be following my Instagram account for the latest travel updates.

Now, back to Brazil. I was just here for the 2016 Rio Olympics. You can read about it here: Rio 2016 Volunteer

This, however, was my second time visiting the country and it is probably one of my favourites in South America. The people are great; they are friendly, welcoming and the country is beautiful.

I love it there! The last time I was going through immigration, the Immigration Officer was cheering on Usain Bolt. As a Jamaican, you gotta love this country. In fact, Jamaica also has a really good relationship with Brazil.

2.Cuba

CubaCuba is only 90-miles away from Jamaica and a total opposite of what we are used to. If you want to feel as if you are back in the 1950’s, add Cuba to your list of visa-hassle-free countries to visit.

I plan to re-visit soon, and the next time I do I plan to indulge myself more into some sweet Cuban salsa. The music and dance are great here; not to mention the history.

However, you will need to visit a Cuban Consulate for a visa card. It is not an actual visa, just a card with your personal details to enter the country along with your passport.

In the past, I purchased mine for $15. Prices might vary depending on your current location.

3. Argentina

Argentina-bariloche

To the very last tip of the Southern Hemisphere sits Argentina. In fact, it is further south of Brazil…You can visit both in one go!

Argentina is beautiful and even though Jamaicans and possibly other Caribbean Islands are allotted no more than 30-days in each visit, I have already visited more 5 times. Yes, I cannot get enough of the football nation. They are also known for their steak and their region in the south called Patagonia. These two reasons alone are enough for me to keep going back and a reason for you to visit.

4. Dominica Republic 

club-med-punta-cana

Again, one of Jamaica’s neighbouring visa-free country. Although a country that is located in the same region, it is one that promises to give you a different experience.

I visited the Dominican Republic on the behalf of Club Med Punta Cana approximately 1 month ago. You can enter to win a free trip there if you stroll to the very last tip of this featured article.

5. Chile

chile

Chile is home away from home for me. I have lived here for approximately 2 years, mainly because of my love for travelling and a personal desire to learn Spanish fluently as a ‘third’ language, in which I did.

Chile has two extremes. They share the most southern tip of the world with Argentina and in the north of the country, they have the driest non-polar desert. Chile is an art. Give it a go!

6. Mexico

chichen-itza-mayan-yucatan-mexico-discovering-yutacan

Friendly, helpful, friendly again and very polite. A very diverse and beautiful country. One that is filled with culture and history. I am looking to re-visit Mexico again. Maybe sometime next year.

Mexico is not a very hard country to get to from the Caribbean. Also,  Jamaicans are allotted 6-months on each visit.

7. Colombia

colombia

Let’s just say 1 out of every 5 Colombians that I personally come across wants to visit Jamaica. The sad part about it is that they require a visa to visit the island. We all know what that feeling is like.

I have visited all the countries in South America (Except for Venezuela) and Colombians are said to be some of the friendliest.

The country is vast, diverse and probably the closest in resemblance to Jamaica within the continent. Give Colombia a visit. It is way up on my ‘favourite-places’ list.

8. Panama

Panama is probably the most visited for Jamaicans with regards to this list. If you are looking to visit a country that doesn’t require a visa, I recommend giving Panama a try. I have passed through Panama a number of times, but never long enough to give a full feedback. However, I’ve heard it is a beautiful country.

9. Belize

Belize-blue-hole

 

Here is an interesting fact about Belize. Belize has the second largest Barrier Reef in the world. Right after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

If you love diving or enjoy snorkeling then you might want to visit Belize and add the Blue Hole to your list.

I cannot even begin to express what the Blue Hole is like. I had the chance of being flown over the Blue Hole in March and I am still a little speechless. I wish I had done a video to share the experience, however, I did a quick blog post. You can view it here.

Also, I just completed a guide on Belize: Island Hopping, Mayan Ruins & The Blue Hole: A Guide to Belize

10. Ecuador

I did my very first solo trip to Ecuador and for this, I recommend it. I never want to forget where I am coming from. I went to Ecuador knowing 2 – 3 words of Spanish. You know: ¡Hola!.. ¡Buenos días!..¿Cómo estás? The locals were nice about it and it was a first good experience.

Ecuador was my first “well-travelled” country. It is one for the books.

 

If you have any questions about these countries leave me a comment below or find me on Instagram or Facebook.

** Some of these countries will require a stopover in the USA(visa required country). Please give me a few days to find out the necessary information if you do not hold a US visa. I will do a blog post. So, stay tuned.

    It was nice to have come across your blog site sand you are very brave to travel solo. You have enlightened me much about visa- free countries, my only worry is that I dread travelling to a new country on my own. It would be good to start a travel group for us travel bug people. Or could call it travel pals group. I might start it but how to begin.

    Hi there,

    Someone I know wishes to travel to Nassau, Bahamas from Jamaica but all the flights have stops in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. This person has no US visa. How can he travel from Jamaica to The Bahamas?

    Thanks

      I was just in Nassau in the summer 2017. I travelled via Caribbean Airlines; it was a direct flight from KIN to Nassau. No visa, no fuss, no worries. It’s very beautiful there, your friend will love it.

    • Shea Powell

      August 12, 2017

      I can´t possible think Ecuador would have a visa restriction for Jamaica nationals as most countries in South America are generally visa-free. However, this might have changed. I travelled to Ecuador for the first time in 2012 and it was all visa-free for 90days.

    Hi Shea,so happy I came a across your blog and Instagram. Thanks for the follow, I am so happy I came across this article, it is exactly what I have been looking for. I wish we could have a one on one and how to get all these trips together because I would love to travel to any of these while I get my visa sorted. So happy to see so many Spanish speaking countries on the list, some of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

    Hello Shea. I have been trying tirelessly to get some information on travelling to Ghana from Jamaica. I have friends there and can’t wait to visit their country. Would you know of the requirements? My vacation is next month.

    • ken
      Naja
      September 21, 2017

      its visa free dear you,you are very welcome to my country

      • Orlando
        ken
        November 26, 2017

        Yes Ken is right, Ghana is visa free. Just a point to note, there are a few countries (France, Germany and Netherlands) that allows visa-free TRANSIT as long as you don’t leave the airport on arrival and your connecting flight is within 12 hours of your initial arrival. I give this info to say that if you’re traveling to Africa you can either go through one of these countries (if you don’t have a visa) or go through Brazil to South Africa and make your way from there.

        Now you ask if “how do I get from Jamaica to France/Germany?” There are actually flights from MBJ to France. Another tip is to check all the other CARICOM nations to see what flights travel to those countries and plan accordingly. I go to school in Grenada and I’ve been to the other islands in the lesser Antilles and I have seen all types of planes traveling to these countries.

        I’m planning to go to Zimbabwe and because I’m already close to South America, I’m going to Paramaribo then to Brazil then hop over to SA on SAA and make my way up to Harare.

        Shea, great blog!!

    Hi Shea! I will be starting my travels soon using sites like workaway and Helpx. A friend of mine who lives in Spanish Town Jamaican will be traveling with us also. So your articles are a huge help! I wanted to know for the stops overs in the US will he require a Visa? That’s tough these days so we’re looking to go to all the Visa free countries that you advised. Thanks for the help and I love your blog Sister!

    • Shea Powell

      Hi Nzuri,

      Thank you for your message. Happy to hear you will be venturing out soon. Maybe our paths will cross.

      Ok, do down to the real deal….. Usually, during stopovers in the US coming from Jamaica you will need to have a visa or a transit visa to first enter the country. Your friend will be required to go through immigration so he/she will have to have some sort of visa. If he/she doesn’t currently hold a US visa he/she could try to get a transit visa which is an easier process but probably costs the same as to an actual visa.

      Hope this helps.

      Happy travels.
      Shea

        Thank you for your reply! I definitely hope to cross paths with you one day. That would be awesome. We’ll shoot for a transit visa and see how that goes. I wasn’t sure if Jamaican citizens were eligible for transit visas in the US. So that’s good to know and worth a try. Helps a lot! Thanks again sister! Happy Travels to you also! ☺️

    I’ve had the pleasure of travelling to 7 different African countries, 4 European and Mexico on my Jamaican passport and experienced a lot. I was welcomed with open arms all over Africa with the exception of just two countries. I live in the US and do not have a Jamaican accent. I’m originally from Jamaica (Mavis Bank). When I showed up at the airports everyone believe ed I was American so I was welcomed warmly but when I present my Jamaican passport it was a different story. I was treated like a celebrity in Zimbabwe and Zambia. No visa was necessary there. Most of the former British colonies do not require you to have a visa with a Jamaican passport. British commonwealth nations can travel freely from one nation to another without a Visa.

    Hello Shea! Great info! Also check out South East Asia where many countries give you a visa on arrival so it’s a backpacker’s dream! Super easy no matter if you’re Jamaican (or a Trini like me!). Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines… I’ll be hitting up a few of those countries next month 🙂 Keep Traveling! Bon Voyage!

    Hi Shea, thank you so much for the info.A few of us from my office visited Cuba for the Heroes Weekend last year. We had a fantastic time.It was even better because we stayed in casas particulares. We plan on visiting at least one Spanish speaking country every year. You definitely will be hearing from me for your guidance.

    In the 1980’s there was a ear of Colombians and travelling to Colombia. In fact I made a mistake by not befriending Colombians who I met. I discovered since travelling to the US that peope of Colombian descent are the warmest of all Latin Americans, not Brazilians as some thought but Colombians. I am not sure if Argentina would appeal to me. It has a history of racism so deep it has blotted out the presence of its Afro population- the same ethnicity who was at the military forefront of Argentina’s independence movement.

  • Sharon Rose
    January 2, 2017

    Thank you for sharing. I love your article. I have also visited Colombia regularly last year for medical reasons & it is a beautiful country.

    I am also glad to hear that Brazil is now visa-free. I visited some time ago & though the visa process was not a hassle, I still don’t want the inconvenience.

    Maybe in your future articles you can you can share (1) the most economical way to travel re flight, accommodations, food etc, (2) the ‘must-see’ sights and sites (3) any other restrictions such as required vaccines etc.

    Keep up the good work & we are all following you literally & figuratively.

    I have a question. I am a permanent resident of The US and I hold a JA passport. Can I still travel to the other 77 countries visa free or because I’m a PR it would put a damper on my travels. What restricts me more??

    • Shea Powell
      Sonika
      August 2, 2017

      Hi Sonika, sorry for the late reply. You being a PR doesn’t affect your travels at all. Your PR status is between you and the US border entries… outside the US, other countries really don’t pay attention to that. Well, in exception to countries like Costa Rica, British Virgin Islands, Honduras etc. These countries require a visa but if you have a US visa or PR US status you will be granted entry just the same.

      When you are entering these visa-free countries these ask for your passport not your greencard, though they usually ask where you reside. Apart from that, you will treated as any regular Jamaica traveller. I hope this answer helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Shea,

    I am a Jamaican currently living in the US and I am researching my options to live in a Spanish speaking country for a year or 2 to learn spanish fluently. Did you need a special visa/work permit to stay in Chile for such a long time or you made multiple trips in and out of the country while you were there to maintain a legal travel status? How did that work? I am concern about living in a country I don’t have a legal work status.

Now I’m living in Japan and I’m so excited about hopping to the countries in this hemisphere that are visa free. And I’ll definitely be down for taking my vacation in the countries you mentioned, especially now that I’ve experienced traveling on my own. It really isn’t that bad.

      i actually do wish to visit Africa, but something is holding me back, maybe its the fact that South Africa is a place of war and human trafficking but then again so are many places in south america and even mexico, everywhere is dangerous … but it all depends on who is really willing to take that risk and i doubt i would be able to persuade my family and friends about that even though it would be a very interesting adventure. I am still very hesitant about visiting these places but i guess it all depends on whether or not you have your head on your body and your awareness to your surroundings.

    Where’s Singapore? Albeit not cheap, it trumps most places (no pun intended)
    Its like a very rich version of Jamaica

    Thanx very much. I never knew you didn’t need a visa for a lot of those places. I will definitely travel to one of them next year. Muchas gracias!

        Hi Shea…..
        Wondering what is the the cheapest country to live in for 6 months visa free and I think its great that Jamaicans can travel visa free but dont like that if their plane flies over the U.S.or Canada they cant go because theyre flying over visa mandatory countries .Now….I heard you can apply for a transit visa but that $16,500. JMD$ on top of the cost of your flight .If you dont apply for a transit visa you can only fly on COPA. Airline and pay $120,0000JMD for flight to Mexico because Copa doesnt fly or stop over the U.S.

    Thank you so much for this article. I am so inspired to visit all of these places. Sometimes just being Jamaican feels like enough to discourage you from visiting other places because of all the horror stories put there about the visa process for most countries. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this article. Much love xxx

    I woke up one day this year bit by a travel bug! Intention? Realizing the world is bigger than the states and Europe. First on my list was curacao. Loved it! Second should have been a toss up between Cuba and Dom Rep for NYE but I think curacao is calling me again! Lol visa free btw! Girl you’re inspiring ! What are your thoughts on doing a solo travel? Where’s best recommended?

    Ps… love the Latin culture love the music love the dancing, know words to some of their songs…. dont speak a lick of the language! Lolol

      Hi Karelle,

      If this list was more than 10, I would have added Curacao. I loved it there, even though I only visited for a day on a stopover to Colombia.

      My thoughts about Solo travelling: GO FOR IT!
      I am a solo traveller. All my trips are done solo—with a camera and backpack; sometimes a luggage. LOL. I will do some tips on this soon. Thanks for checking out the post. Happy travels! 🙂

    I am happy that you are sharing your experience so that others (myself incuded) will look outside of the places that we normally visit. I am a little concern though that majority of these locations are Spanish speaking countries. Do you have any recommdation or suggestions for person who may have a concern in this regard?

    And please keep sharing.
