The path forward is a collective one. While the policy remains unchanged for now, this statement provides a clear roadmap for what is needed to earn a new visa-free status. It's a challenge to Jamaican travellers to prove that they are reliable and respectful visitors, with the ultimate reward being greater ease of travel between two Commonwealth nations.
