Poland to Jamaica visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for a short tourist visit to Jamaica. You may enter visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism. You must, however, complete the mandatory online C5 immigration/customs form before you travel (it is free), hold a passport valid for the duration of your stay, and carry proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. Jamaica grants visa-free entry to citizens of Poland for tourist purposes for up to 30 days, a policy in force since March 2013 and confirmed by Jamaica's Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA). This is a unilateral visa waiver for tourism only, so no consular visa or eVisa is required for a short holiday. Jamaica is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. The only universal pre-travel formality is the Electronic C5 form (the digital immigration and customs declaration) on enterjamaica.gov.jm, which every passenger must complete before boarding; it is free of charge. At the border, travellers should be ready to show a passport valid for the intended period of stay, a return or onward ticket, evidence of accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds. Stays beyond 30 days, or travel for work, study or business, require prior authorisation or a different category and should be checked with a Jamaican mission. Because the 30-day allowance is shorter than the 90 days granted to some nationalities, Polish visitors should confirm their length of stay and request an extension from PICA inside Jamaica if they need longer.
