As agencies within the Government of Jamaica seek to automate their processes for more efficiency and accuracy, the Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA) and the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) are promoting the use of the Electronic Passenger Declaration (C5) Form through the newly developed online portal, to ensure that by October 2023, all passengers Go E!
By leveraging the online declaration portal, Customs and Immigration can significantly enhance their operational efficiency, improve data accuracy, ensure security, and provide a more convenient and streamlined experience for arriving passengers.
The new online declaration portal which can be accessed at www.enterjamaica.com, offers several additional benefits when compared to the current manual form for Passenger clearance. Arriving passengers can now submit their electronic declarations at anytime from anywhere prior to travel using any smart device, thus reducing their waiting time once they arrive in Jamaica.
The online form will also eliminate incomplete or inaccurate data collection, while increasing data sharing between both Agencies resulting in enhanced efficiency and border protection.
As we urge passengers to make use of, and become familiar with the new online declaration portal, the JCA and PICA will continue to seek ways to improve and enhance the portal with additional government services for the benefit of all.
