Jamaica C5 Form for Brazilian Citizens
Brazilian travelers must complete the Jamaica C5 Form, which serves as both an immigration declaration and a customs form. The form is free and submitted online at enterjamaica.gov.jm. Every passenger arriving by air or cruise ship must complete it.
This requirement applies to all Brazilian citizens - no exceptions by age or purpose. Each adult submits their own C5 Form. Children under 18 are added on the reverse side of a parent's form. The C5 Form is not a visa. It is a mandatory entry and customs declaration.
Do Brazilian Citizens Need a Visa for Jamaica?
Brazilian passport holders can enter Jamaica visa-free for tourism for stays of up to 90 days. Always confirm your current visa status before you travel. Rules can change, so check the official source directly.
Visa-free entry does not remove the Jamaica C5 Form requirement. You must still complete the C5 Form before you arrive. The two are separate - one is entry permission, the other is your arrival declaration.
If you plan to work, study, or stay longer than 90 days, different rules may apply. Verify your specific situation on the official PICA website. Immigration officers may ask about your purpose of stay on arrival.
