Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

The route you use to apply depends on what you need. Nationals who require a visa to enter Trinidad and Tobago generally apply through a Trinidad and Tobago consular post (or the nearest post) in their country of residence, or through the Immigration Division's online visa service. Student permits are handled through the Immigration Division's online Student Permit system, and work permits are processed through the national single-window trade portal, TTBizLink.

Residence and citizenship matters are managed by the Citizenship and Residency Unit of the Immigration Division at the General Administration Building, Temple Court 2, 52–60 Abercromby Street, Port of Spain. Because processes and contact points change, confirm the current channel for your case with the Immigration Division before starting.
