Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this at the counter before you board and again at passport control. | Recommended |

Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Trinidad and Tobago. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport doesn't meet the requirement, you won't be allowed to fly.
No visa needed, but be prepared
While you don't need a visa, immigration officers can still ask for proof of accommodation, return ticket, and sufficient funds. Having these ready makes the process smooth.
