Voyager avec un animal — Jamaïque (2026)

Points clés

• Jamaica is not a signatory to an international pet passport or international pet travel scheme; pet passport holders must still comply with all import requirements
• Quarantine: the Veterinary Services Division's Quarantine Unit states that all imported animals must be quarantined for no less than 14 days at Plumb Point, at JMD 1,000 per animal per day, doubling if the animal is not collected on time
• The guidance to the 2017 Regulations describes this as the landing officer's decision, so a healthy pet whose paperwork is in order may be released instead
• Plan and budget for the 14 days
• You must book the quarantine place at least 3 weeks ahead, and no animal is landed without a booking
• Owners supply food, bowls and bedding, and pay to transport the animal from the airport to the station
• The rabies waiting period depends on the animal's age at its FIRST vaccination: a puppy or kitten vaccinated between 3 and 12 months old does not qualify for entry until 180 days after that primary inoculation, while a dog or cat first vaccinated at 12 months or older qualifies 3 months after it
• Hybrid dogs and cats - the offspring of a domestic dog or cat crossed with another species - may not be imported at all, whatever their rabies history
• A dog must NOT have been vaccinated against canine influenza, and must be free of it in the 7 days before export
• Permits take about five business days to process and are valid for one journey only
