Question

Do I need to get a new passport if I have moved?

Answer

During the July 2006 CARICOM Summit, the various leaders reached an agreement on measures to ensure hassle-free movement for visitors to the 2007 Cricket World Cup, as well intelligence sharing and cooperation for the security of the event. People will be able to travel amongst the nine host countries and Dominica between January 15, 2007 and May 15, 2007 using a single CARICOM visa. The common CARICOM visa will be applicable to the nationals of 46 countries. The (CARICOM) visas were to have been issued from August 15, 2006, but will now be issued in early November 2006 and are to be issued by three CARICOM states (Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago). For countries that have no Caribbean representatives, the CARICOM visa will be issued by the UK. During the 5 month period from January to May, the ten Caribbean countries will become a “single domestic space” in which travellers will only have their passport stamped and have to submit completed entry and departure forms at the first port and country of entry. The entry and departure forms will also be standardised for all ten countries. When continuing travel throughout the Single Domestic Space, persons (including those using the common visa) will not be required to have their documents processed to clear customs and immigration and will not have their passports stamped, but would still need to travel with them.
