Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit JM?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist visits to Jamaica. You may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days, provided you hold a valid passport, a return/onward ticket, and proof of sufficient funds. Jamaica grants visa-free entry to holders of Brazilian ordinary passports for tourism, family visits, business, and approved cultural/sporting events for stays of up to 90 days. This is confirmed by Jamaica's official Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA), whose entry list states "BRAZIL - NO visa required for 90 days." Jamaica is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply; there is also no eVisa, ETA, or visa-on-arrival requirement for Brazilians for short tourist stays. Travelers should carry a passport valid for the duration of their stay, evidence of onward or return travel, proof of accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds. Final admission and the exact length of stay are granted by the immigration officer at the port of entry. Note that all arriving passengers must complete Jamaica's online Immigration/Customs (C5) form before arrival. Visa-free status is for short visits only; working, studying, or long-term residence requires the appropriate visa or permit obtained in advance.
