Citizens o Jamaica will now be able to travel to the Cayman Islands without having to acquire a visa.
This after the Caymanian government announced a conditional visa exemption for Jamaicans visiting that country.
Premier Alden McLaughlin on Thursday announced the immigration initiative according to a report in the Cayman Compass
The conditions are ad follows:
1) The Jamaican traveller must have a valid United States, United Kingdom or Canadian visa
2) The Jamaican traveller must be visiting the Cayman Islands directly from the US, UK or Canada
3) The Jamaican traveller must be staying in the Cayman Islands for no longer than 30 days
McLaughlin said these requirements are to ensure that the US, UK or Canadian visa of the Jamaican traveller is authentic.
The Cayman Islands introduced visa requirements for Jamaicans in 2005 following an increase in the number of people leaving Kingston to benefit from the economic boom in Cayman in the wake of Ivan.
