Question

Do I need to get a passport?

Answer

U.S. citizens are required to present a valid U.S. passport when traveling to Jamaica. We suggest that you obtain your passport as soon as possible due to a current backlog of passport applications within the state department.

How do I get to the wedding venue? Will transportation be provided?
