US citizen moving to Kgn

7 years ago

dear all,

I am a mother of two, planning on moving to Kingston.. I have trillion questions, but i think the first most important one is: how would I go back after staying in Jamaica for long peroid of time? US citizens can stay here for up to 6 months, then they have to leave. WOuld they allow me to come into the country right after 6 month period? Also, if I stay in Jamaica and leave after 4 month, will it null my stay back to zero and will i have another 180 days to stay? How exactly does it work? I have two kids, one is 4 yo, another is 15 .. i want them both to attend school. If my older one goes to public school, will he need documents of residence? I know private schools won't require residentail status, but what what about public schools?

Please, let me know. ANY info on the subject would be mega appreciated.

Thank you!
M
