Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. For longer stays, apply for a visa from a Trinidad and Tobago embassy before traveling.
If you are connecting flights and staying airside (not passing through immigration), you generally do not need a visa. If you need to clear immigration to switch terminals or leave the airport, the visa-free rules apply — you can stay up to 90 days.
You will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. There are no exceptions.
It is not a formal requirement, but immigration officers may ask how you will support yourself during your stay. Having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash is a good idea.
No, there is no arrival or departure tax for tourists. The airport departure tax is included in your airline ticket.
The visa-free entry is for tourism and business visits only. Remote work for a foreign employer is generally tolerated for short stays, but it is a grey area. If you plan to work for a local company, you need a work permit.
Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban from re-entering. The fine is typically around 500 TTD per month overstayed. Avoid it — leave on time.
