Step 1

Plan your travel itinerary and book your flight and hotel reservations. Include visits to some of Jamaica’s child-friendly attractions, such as the Aquasol water park in Montego Bay or the 1,000-acre working Prospect Plantation, outside of Port Antonio. Include time on the island’s beaches as well, avoiding the nudist area of Negril’s Seven Mile Beach.

Step 2

Get passports in advance of your trip. Plan to visit the passport facility with your children’s other parent, bring the other parent’s notarized Statement of Consent to the facility or provide documentation noting you are the sole custodian of the children, as both of a child’s parents must consent to having a passport issued for the child, notes the U.S. Department of State.

Step 3

Visit your doctor to ensure you and your children are up to date on your vaccinations and have enough of your prescription medications to last the duration of your trip. Have your doctor write a note explaining that you, or your children, have been prescribed any medications that you plan on carrying into Jamaica with you to avoid having it confiscated, suggests the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
