Brazilian passport holders can visit Trinidad and Tobago for tourism or business stays up to 90 days without a visa. As of 2026, entry requires meeting standard immigration rules: passport validity, onward ticket, and proof of accommodation if asked.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Trinidad and Tobago | Your Brazilian passport must be valid for at least the duration of your stay. Trinidad and Tobago does not formally require 6 months of validity beyond departure, but airlines may enforce their own rules — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Trinidad and Tobago | Immigration officers at Piarco International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a return ticket. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number covers this. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence you can support yourself during your stay | Immigration can request proof of sufficient funds — typically cash, credit card, or bank statement showing you can cover your expenses. No set minimum amount is published, but having at least TT$1,000 (around US$150) per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine required
If you're arriving from Brazil (which has yellow fever risk), you must show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Get the shot at least 10 days before your flight and carry the certificate with your passport.
No visa needed, but don't skip prep
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration can still deny entry if you don't have a return ticket, valid passport, or proof of accommodation. Have everything ready before you queue.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before departure
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), return/onward ticket, first night accommodation confirmation, and travel insurance. Save digital copies on your phone and keep printed backups.
2
Arrive at Piarco International Airport (POS)
Most flights from Brazil land at Piarco International Airport in Port of Spain. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single queue for all non-nationals.
3
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport and return ticket. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, length of stay, and where you're staying. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with up to 90 days.
4
Collect baggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, collect your luggage from the carousel. Customs is usually a green channel for most tourists — walk through unless you have something to declare.
