The real power of the JAMAICAN PASSPORT.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6vFZIqqi5h5Zq8 ► Why I live in Jamaica kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYGnfmh8f9aapsU ► My Life in the USSR (LIVE STREAM) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYKnnWlugayFZrM 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 🤓

This video had my full attention, I couldn't look away. It was so educational. Great job Irina!!!

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Thank you so much! Glad you've enjoyed it! 😊

[@deloresthompson1808]

You were born for this it is so refreshing to listen to your information on every vlog i have seen you could be a teacher easy hands down i am very sure many in Jamaica 🇯🇲 did not know half of the information you gave thanks for your time.

[@jrcoops7809]

Hey irie as I always your are the best..tomorrow I'm going to call the embassy and renew my jamaican passport..

[@jamflo2]

Blessings IRIE; great piece! People from Jamaican background are way more privileged than they generally admit. Jamaicans are a very well traveled people and in fact not just visit but live all across the world, including such place as Russia, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and i think they may even be found in the North Pole. 😂🤣😂

And on that note, check out the "What's it like Being a Jamaican living in ____" series of videos on the Jamaicans youtube channel kzbin.info (Full disclosure, I was one of the featured interviewees two weeks ago!)

😂 As I was listening to her all I can think about is that there is not one country where there isn’t a Jamaican. So yes we know we just don’t broadcast it!

[@jhayislandpalmer2614]

Thank you Irie. Well done and big up your self.😍

[@lbafs1530]

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.

Calm down most small to medium size businesses is owned by Jamaicans it's a myth that Jamaica is owned by foreigners...the biggest hotel group in Jamaica is owned by s Jamaican family..etc...

[@evergreenlandscaping901]

I have a Trinidad,Barbados, and a USA passport. I will still like to get a Jamaican passport. I always tell people try to get as much access to the world as possible. Some are just fine whit a driver license, not me. Not me I want a pilot license.

[@floydcampbell8973]

Listen!!! Just last week there was a mention in a Jamaican newspaper about a company CEO saying that Jamaica needs to allow citizenship by investment. I’m so glad I found this page. Can’t wait for the documentary

[@chelseaclinton2927]

Thank you Irena for debunking some of the negative stereotype of this beautiful country.

[@orvillebennett5931]

The comments from your viewership are all consistent and basically saying the same. You are truly awesome !!! Keep up the wonderful work. It's not lost on your viewers and certainly not on me !! Nuff love our Honarable Jamaican Sister. As the Vulcans say "Live long and Prosper".

[@lionfromjam7282]

"The rich know how to use the law to get what they want"....truer words have never been said.

[@Jazz-pu1qw]

Agree, that is the trick!

[@-ucanthandledatruth01-12]

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.

Thanks for another insightful episode.. the power of the JA passport can get way better with the drive to make JA more competitive.

[@dmorw9601]

IRINA!!!!!! Wow! Thank you sooooooo much for that amazing research filled informative production. I love my Jamaican passport, but that was loads of insightful information that I needed to hear. My mind has been stimulated to read even more on the topic. Thank you, thank, thank you. You are a treasure to my nation. (Hey….. Ukraine…. Yuh hear that? We are planning to steal this one from you).

[@WilliamMarceloPaiva]

What you talked about in this video is the exact reason why I consider my Brazilian passport one of the most powerful in the world. It gives me the right to live and work in 9 other countries in South America and special privileges in Portugal (Equality Statute between Brazil and Portugal), in addition to visa-free access to the whole of Europe including UK and Russia + a number of interesting countries.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

This is amazing 👍 Brazil is awesome!

[@madewithrealdiamonds]

This is similar to the Chilean passport, which my ex-wife and her daughter have. They have no need for a passport in most of South America, and just a national ID is necessary to travel. The problem is actually getting the passport, which can be a pain in the behind.
