Could someone shed some light on whether or not holders of US Passports are granted visas beyond 6 weeks to vacation in Jamaica. Much appreciation.

US citizens are allowed up to six months stays. Upon arrival, you are given a 90 day stamp, before this time is up, go to MoBay or Kingston for an extension at the cost of 10,000 JMD which for now is $120.00 US.

Any decision is up to the immigration officer you talk to when entering the country. While s/he has guidelines and laws to follow (and I believe that doctoro's information is correct), its up to them to decide how long they give you.

My experience has been if you have a return ticket with a specific date and explain why you want the time, they will give it to you more times than not if its within the law. But its not a guarantee.

Good luck and enjoy your long stay on the Rock.

Thanks doctoro and eric for the info provided. I am certainly looking forward to my stay in JA and Treasure Beach in particular.

im jealous....just sayin

Don't be jealous littlemamalisa, when the time is right you will be hopping and enjoying yourself in good ole TB. Tell you what, I will enjoy myself for you too.

Thanks again for your encouragement. I was granted a 3-month visa to vacation in beautiful TB. Have a happy!!!
