About Trinidad & Tobago

Whether your company is sending employees to Trinidad and Tobago or expanding your worldwide footprint—Fragomen is here to help. Our experienced immigration professionals partner with businesses of all sizes to develop immigration strategies that can help you achieve your goals.

  • Trinidadian law provides several options for employers of foreign nationals. Foreign nationals, unless exempt by treaty or other agreements, must apply for an entry visa before arrival to conduct business activities in Trinidad and Tobago or, if eligible, pay a Visa Waiver Fee upon arrival instead. Entry Visas are generally issued with a 21-day authorized stay and allow a single entry into the country.
  • Visa-exempt nationals do not require an entry visa for business activities of varying periods depending on their citizenship: up to 30 days, 90 days, 90 days within 180 days, or for the period granted on entry by the immigration officer. In practice, the period of stay granted is generally 21 days.
  • Foreign nationals entering Trinidad and Tobago for gainful employment may do so under a work permit waiver for a single entry for a period of up to 30 days every 12 consecutive months. Otherwise, a work permit is required. Work permits may be granted initially for up to three years and must usually be accompanied by an Entry Visa, except for passport holders of Canada and the European​ Union.

Fragomen can also consult on citizenship matters and, as permitted within the confines of local law, may be able to offer citizenship assistance.
