The United States Embassy will be implementing a new visa appointment system as of March 18.
The new process will apply to all US visas, as well as courier delivery services.
In a release, posted on the Kingston embassy's website, the embassy said visa applicants will no longer pay for a Personal Identification Number (PIN), to schedule an appointment, or pay a separate delivery fee.
However, the visa application fee will remain the same.
To facilitate the system upgrade, there will be no scheduling of visa appointments by phone or online, between March 13 and 17.
Visa applicants, who do not have an urgent need to travel, are strongly encouraged to wait until March 18, or later, to begin the process of scheduling an appointment for their visa.
Customers who have already purchased a PIN to schedule an appointment must use that PIN no later than March 12, as all PINS will expire after that date.
