The real power of the JAMAICAN PASSPORT.
Рет қаралды 417,763
Күн бұрынWhat'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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e-CSZrqlu5mqYIE.html ► Why I live in Jamaica kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbZ0gJh3r9fLoJc.html ► My Life in the USSR (LIVE STREAM) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibd0n5lpsa22YIU.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.

You hit the ball out the park again Irina. Your thirst for research has no boundaries. Truly amazing. Well done and well presented again. I learnt a lot here. Most of Jamaicans did not know these facts. You keep raising the bar. Thank you.

Thanks for reminding me that Jamaican passport is more useful than I thought but I'm still living in the US. Hopefully one day I will close this chapter and renew my Jamaican passport.

I always wonder why so many Jamaicans fail to take advantage of their Caricom citizenship, I have friends who have worked in several islands.

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.

Wow Irie you done it again. This is amazing information. On this score respect to Jamaica on not being 'for sale' in that way. I have observerd over several years with my frequent trips to Jamaica the amount of foreigners that have chosen to come, live and work here despite all the negativity Jamaica gets . They see something here that many Jamaicans living abroad don't and many foreigners that queue up at passport office in Jamaica to get that extension to stay. Despite all the hassle and cost they do it and we take this for granted. Thank you once again Irene.

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 "
