    Thx for sharing. Great content and presentation!! So considering the additional $$ spent on renting trucks & trailers, fuel, manhours and your sanity, wouldn't it have been more economical and less stressful to have paid for one of the other services?

  • @jetsettingwithjackie

    No problem. The other options would not work for me due to the place that my items were in. The trailer would not be able to pull into my storage facility. I wish I was able to use one of the other options but this made the most sense for me.

    Hello and thank you for your support and feedback. If you are a born Jamaican and been naturalized as a US citizen there is nothing for you to do. You automatically have dual citizenship. If you are a US born Citizen of JA decent then you can just use your parent(s) JA citizenship to apply for your JA passport and you will be good.

    Thank you for your prompt response. Good to know because I thought I had to get additional documents in Jamaica since I'm a naturalized US citizen. Next step is getting a new Jamaican passport since it's expired!

    Hi Jackie I love your content. When you got the provisional approval for returning resident how long did you have to complete the shipping?

  • @jetsettingwithjackie

    @jetsettingwithjackie

    6 ай бұрын

    Thank you @drtrishmom2 you have 6 months after you get the approval to get your items onto the island. There are some caveats to that though because they go by the last date you landed in Jamaica as the start of that 6 months. So if your application is approved in Jan. And you last Landed in JA in December. You now have 5 months left. That’s what happened to me. I tried to explain in a little more detail in my Returning Residents video. Hopefully this helps.

    Got it. I’m not sure about that process. I’m thinking the cost would be cheaper as there is no goods to declare in JA and nothing much to do other than transporting the container to the port and it’s destination in JA. Very interesting though. If you figure it out before I do please share the result. I would love to know.
