Arriving at the airport
When you arrive at the Airport, your first stop will be at immigration where you will get an entry stamp in your passport.
When asked, indicate that you are here to experience the Jamaican culture as a tourist.
Ensure that you know your host family's name, address and telephone number. Print your host family and placement details and take them with you.
You will then make your way to the baggage claim area where you should wait until your bag arrives. You will then go through another check point as you make your way to the exit.
