The Shocking REASON Jamaicans Need a Visa to Visit the UK

Why do Jamaicans need a visa to visit the UK, while citizens from other Commonwealth realms like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand do not? In this video, we explore the controversial visa policy that singles out Jamaica — despite the fact that both the UK and Jamaica share the same head of state, King Charles III. Jamaica is one of 15 Commonwealth realms, yet it’s the only one where citizens are required to get a UK visitor visa. We dive into the history of Jamaica’s independence, the role of the British monarchy, the British Nationality Act of 1981, and the impact of the Windrush generation. We also unpack why the Labour government introduced the visa requirement in 2003, and why the same party just imposed similar restrictions on Trinidad and Tobago in 2025. Is this about security, overstays, or something deeper? Is this a case of immigration control or a lingering legacy of colonial bias?
