🇹🇼Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)🇯🇲JamaicaTW-JM Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Jamaica visa requirements
Yes, you need a visa. Jamaica does not recognize the ordinary Republic of China (Taiwan) passport for entry, so Taiwan travelers must first obtain an "Affidavit of Identity" issued by Jamaican authorities and then a visa. With a valid Affidavit of Identity, a tourist visa on arrival (about USD 100) is possible, but plan and arrange this well in advance with a Jamaican consulate before you travel. Jamaica officially classifies Taiwan (ROC) ordinary passport holders as visa-required, and uniquely does NOT recognize the standard ROC passport as a valid travel document for entry. Under Jamaica's published rules (PICA and the visa policy), a Taiwanese citizen "must hold an Affidavit of Identity issued by Jamaica." Holders of this Affidavit of Identity traveling as tourists may then obtain a visa on arrival for around USD 100. Because the Affidavit of Identity must be arranged in advance through Jamaican consular channels and the standard passport alone is not accepted, this is best treated as visa-required rather than a simple walk-up visa on arrival. Travelers should contact the nearest Jamaican consulate or honorary consul early to confirm the current procedure, as Jamaica has no embassy in Taiwan. A passport with at least 6 months' validity and 2 blank pages, a return/onward ticket, proof of funds, and the free online C5 immigration form are also required. Jamaica is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
