Visa and entry information
Swiss travellers should ask the Jamaican embassy about visa and entry requirements – the FDFA does not publish them itself. The FDFA has no general travel warning for Jamaica. See the FDFA travel advice.
Closing days
The embassy is closed on Swiss public holidays and on the Jamaican national holiday (6 August). Call ahead around Christmas and Easter.

In an emergency, Jamaican citizens should call the embassy on +41 22 908 07 60.
