    Trinidad and Tobago nationals: outside foreign visitor-visa scope

    The Immigration Division's eVisa service applies to eligible foreign nationals, not nationals presenting a Trinidad and Tobago passport.

    • This does not establish treatment for a dual national presenting another passport, residence, work, departure controls, or individual border admission.
    • From 17 March 2026, all persons entering or leaving Trinidad and Tobago must complete the free online Arrival/Departure Card before travel (up to 72 hours) and present its QR-code receipt. This is a travel declaration, not a visa, ETA, or entry guarantee.

    Named non-CARICOM ordinary passports: visa exemption

    The Immigration Division's current visa-exempt-country list expressly says these named nationalities do not require a visa for entry to Trinidad and Tobago.

    • The current official list establishes no common visitor-stay duration, work right, residence right, transit rule, or special-document treatment for this mixed nationality cohort.
    • This policy is confined to the named ordinary-passport nationalities. It does not extend the country list to other Commonwealth, territorial, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, crew, or travel-document holders.
    • From 17 March 2026, all persons entering or leaving Trinidad and Tobago must complete the free online Arrival/Departure Card before travel (up to 72 hours) and present its QR-code receipt. This is a travel declaration, not a visa, ETA, or entry guarantee.
    29 passport nationalities covered

    The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Botswana, Brunei, Canada, eSwatini, The Gambia, Ghana, Hong Kong (SAR China), Kenya, Kiribati, Lesotho, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Namibia, Nauru, Pakistan, Samoa, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Zambia, Zimbabwe

    Named CARICOM ordinary passports: visa exemption and six-month definite entry

    The Immigration Division lists these CARICOM nationalities as visa-exempt; Foreign Ministry CSME guidance says a CARICOM national seeking entry receives a definite six-month entry subject to immigration requirements.

    • The stated six months is subject to satisfaction of all immigration requirements and does not itself establish entry, employment, residence, a work-permit exemption, or an indefinite CSME Skills Certificate stay.
    • Free movement for listed CSME skill categories requires the appropriate Skills Certificate; other CARICOM nationals seeking employment must apply for a work permit.
    • This policy covers only the common ordinary-passport visitor component, not diplomatic, official, emergency, refugee, crew, or other special documents.
    • From 17 March 2026, all persons entering or leaving Trinidad and Tobago must complete the free online Arrival/Departure Card before travel (up to 72 hours) and present its QR-code receipt. This is a travel declaration, not a visa, ETA, or entry guarantee.
    11 passport nationalities covered

    United Kingdom and European Union ordinary passports: visa exemption

    The Foreign Ministry's current visa instructions expressly say that United Kingdom passport holders and European Union member-country holders do not require visas to visit Trinidad and Tobago.

    • The instructions do not provide a shared visitor-stay duration or establish employment, residence, transit, diplomatic, official, emergency, refugee, or other special-document treatment.
    • Ireland and the United Kingdom also appear on Immigration's current visa-exempt-country list; this policy includes each code once as the explicit UK/EU group.
    • From 17 March 2026, all persons entering or leaving Trinidad and Tobago must complete the free online Arrival/Departure Card before travel (up to 72 hours) and present its QR-code receipt. This is a travel declaration, not a visa, ETA, or entry guarantee.
    28 passport nationalities covered

    Explicitly named ordinary passports: electronic visitor visa required

    The current Foreign Ministry visa instructions directly identify these nationalities as requiring a visa, and state that all Trinidad and Tobago entry visas are electronic; they are normalized as eVisa.

    • China, Taiwan, Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam are expressly named in the current instructions' visa-required applicant cohort; Venezuela is expressly stated to require a visa for entry. The regional references to Asian, African, Middle-East and Far-East countries are not used to infer any additional code.
    • The Immigration Division eVisa service is for eligible foreign nationals from visa-required countries. Applicants need a passport valid at least six months, email address, digital photograph, supporting PDFs, and a Visa or Mastercard; approval is sent by email.
    • The official portal currently lists a TTD 800 multiple-entry eVisa fee, while ttconnect describes a TTD 400 fee. This official fee discrepancy is unresolved and does not alter the eVisa classification.
    • Bona fide operating aircraft or seagoing-vessel crew do not require a visa regardless of nationality; that occupation-specific exception is not a nationality-wide ordinary visitor rule. Possession of an eVisa does not guarantee admission.
    • This does not establish work, residence, student, transit, diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, or other special-document treatment.
    • From 17 March 2026, all persons entering or leaving Trinidad and Tobago must complete the free online Arrival/Departure Card before travel (up to 72 hours) and present its QR-code receipt. This is a travel declaration, not a visa, ETA, or entry guarantee.

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.

    • This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route.
    • Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
    • Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.
