Jamaica Welcomes UK Visa Application Fee Waiver for Jamaican Appellants Appearing Before the Privy Council
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaican appellants whose matters come before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC), as well as counsel appearing on their behalf, will now benefit from a new arrangement for Commonwealth countries under which visa application fees for travel to the United Kingdom (UK) in connection with proceedings before the Court, are waived. Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator the Honourable Kamina Johnson Smith, has welcomed the measure as a practical step in facilitating access to justice for Jamaicans whose matters reach the Privy Council.
