Work
Visitors are admitted to Jamaica on the condition that they ‘not engage in any form of employment on the island.’ Professionals can obtain work permits if sponsored by a Jamaican company, but casual work is very difficult to obtain.
Business hours
Most business offices are open 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday. Very few offices are open Saturday.
Most stores open at either 8am or 9am and close at 5pm, though on Saturday they close at noon. Generally shops are closed on Sunday, except pharmacies, which are open every day.

Want to live and work overseas? If you speak English, you can teach English all over the world. Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) can be a great way to fund your travels and experience new cultures. You don’t even need any teaching experience or the ability to speak another language.
