What's so good about having a Jamaican passport? The real power of the Jamaican Passport is not usually discussed. Instead, people tend to view the passport as a document to travel on holiday, while in reality it can give you so much more. With this video I'd like to discuss the Henley Passport Index, where it comes from and why it has nothing to do with the real power of the Jamaican passport.

As a Ukrainian citizen living in Jamaica I believe that Jamaican passport would have been more useful for me and I am actually eligible to apply for Jamaican citizenship. HOWEVER, I will not apply for Jamaican citizenship until there is a change in Ukrainian law to allow dual citizenship (currently dual citizenship is not allowed by Ukraine). I will never give up my Ukrainian citizenship/passport even if such option was available to me because of the obvious ideological reasons and the fact that I am Ukrainian. Please find the links in the description of the video, e.g. for more information about "CARICOM Skills Certificate" etc. Other videos mentioned in this episode: ► How to Move to Jamaica ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ezb3WtV3F0M.html ► Why I live in Jamaica ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cPDM5FJqgpc.html ► My Life in the USSR (LIVE STREAM) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SQDl68LGR0Q.html PS. for some reason I kept failing to pronounce the word "inherently" in this video but noticed it when I already had saved the video.. Oh, well. :) sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm not a native English speaker. One day I'd be able to get an editor 🤓

You do realise it is significant to frame those people as being rich instead of them being described as white, right? Even those rich black people have affiliations, allegiances, connections, contracts and are servants of white power. They'll use words like "the elites", "the powerful" and even "THE man" but those people always look like members of white society. I beg black people to actually not be manipulated to disregard truths white people CAN NOT accept. You are NOT white. Take the information regarding the passport, but it is NOT just the rich who have plunged Black nations into their condition, it is maintained by the mindful efforts of more than rich people....its simply that the rich just receive more from those efforts than the people themselves.

@@darkfeminineconsciousness Jamaica knows allowing dual citizenship is critical. Most people want to work for the high wages paid by US employers and send the money back to Jamaica instead of raising the funds to start a business in the Caribbean. If they work for the government in the US for 20-25 years at age 55 they qualify for retirement income, their US coworkers will be jealous that someone can go live in Jamaica without restriction. Prehaps the money they were send to Jamaica has set up real estate and a business to guide Americans through the visa process, finding a doctor and other long term needs.

You came and fell in love with Jamaica it's people and the culture. You are so knowledgeable about the Island and we can see your passion for Jamaica. You are no longer a foreigner you are an honorable Jamaican it's a shame your country does not allow dual citizenship it must be a tough choice if you have to renounce your country's citizenship in order to get Jamaican citizenship hopefully you can have dual citizenship in the future....I am proud of my country and people for welcoming you and your family as Jamaicans representing our motto " out of many one people "

This policy is nonsense. The same thing with marijuana. Jamaica should have legalized it decades ago. Jamaica would have been one of the wealthiest countries on earth. But, what did they do? They waited until other countries legalizing it. Then Jamaica began to run behind other countries. That's BS. It doesn't matter what your research says. The fact is, Jamaica is one of the poorest countries in the world. That's in itself tells you that the Jamaica policy is BS.

Great blog Irena, I learnt something new today about having a Jamaican passport. Did you know that no matter what other citizenship a Jamaican hold, he/she never loses their Jamaican citizenship? Isnt that amazing....so proud to be Jamaican, proud to have you as "one of us" you are awesome. #Jamaica#to#the#world...#Irena#really#Irei

Small but important distinction. A visa or visa exempt passport does not inherently allow one to enter a country. It only allows one to board a vessel destined for that country. Entry to the country may still be refused once the person has arrived in that country.
