I travel extensively with my Jamaican passport which requires a visa for so my countries I visit. Very quickly my pages are all used up. Why is it not possible to obtain a passport with more pages and why am I penalized each time I exhaust my pages and have to reapply for a new passport. I don't think this is how you encourage your citizens to travel. Also getting the passport application done overseas is not an easy process especially in south east Asia. It took my daughter 6 months of back and forth because a signature on the form didn't match. In the end I did it for her and used my signature. Hello Jamaica, have you heard of BIOMETRICS? During my 25 years of travelling, I've never had to sign my signature to enter or exit a country. And I've been to some really basic airport immigrations.
JAMAICA PASSPORT FORM AND THE RENEWAL FORM ARE THE SAME?
I would like to know if it is possible to know the number of a passport that expired in the 1990's . I need this for immigration application in USA.
How do I get an application form to fill in to renew my passport which expire in a coupe of months. I live in KINGSTON.
