Visa requirements have been imposed on Jamaicans traveling to the remaining four Dutch Caribbean islands, effective February 1 this year. In 2011, the tiny Dutch island of St. Maarten, imposed visa requirements.
In an advertisement in the daily newspapers here on Friday the consulate of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, served notice that all Jamaican nationals, traveling on a Jamaican or Caricom passport, will require a visa to enter the other Dutch islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius.
The consulate said a grace period had been given until March 15 for Jamaicans who wish to travel to the islands of Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius, without a visa.
However it is advising, that during this period, travelers should apply for a visa.
Visa applications submitted to the consulate, will be processed within three weeks.
In the meantime, Jamaican nationals, in possession of a valid multiple entry Schengen, Canadian or United States visa, do not require a Dutch visa to travel to the Dutch islands. The Schengen visa allows hassle free travel throughout the European Union.
