Information shared on the Passport Immigration and Citizenship Agency PICA online immigration form portal, will be secure.
This is the assurance given by PICA, to travellers to Jamaica, who must fill out the immigration form online, starting today September 1.
Chief Executive Officer of PICA Andrew Wynter told JIS, that the data will be encrypted.
He further noted that security was the priority of the agency, when it implemented the online system.
The use of the online immigration form, gives PICA the ability to enhance one of its mandates of border security.
It will provide the agency with information before hand, so they can conduct their risk assessment and evaluation.
Mr. Wynter emphasized that the Jamaica is ensuring that it is a part of the change process, as PICA has observed that many countries are now moving away from the physical form and putting it in a digital format.
Meanwhile, PICA is reminding persons travelling with children, that all members of the family are legally required to fill out an immigration form.
