Mozambican passport holders need an eVisa to enter Trinidad and Tobago. The official online application is the only way to get one — there's no visa on arrival. Start early, have your documents ready, and follow the steps below.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa (eVisas)You cannot get this visa on arrival; you must apply and receive approval before you travel. Apply before travel | Mozambican passport holders must obtain an eVisa before arriving in Trinidad and Tobago. Apply online through the official government portal at least several weeks before departure. The eVisa is not extendable. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's too close, renew it before applying for the visa. Minimum 6 months | Your Mozambique passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Trinidad and Tobago. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer needs a clean page to stamp you in. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least one blank visa page for the entry stamp. Ensure no pages are damaged or missing. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see this to confirm you will leave before your visa expires. Proof of departure | Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight ticket showing departure from Trinidad and Tobago within the allowed stay period. | Required |
| Proof of fundsNot always asked, but having proof avoids problems at the border. Sufficient for stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements, credit cards) to cover your expenses during your stay in Trinidad and Tobago. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra online form before arrival. Not required | No separate arrival declaration is required for Trinidad and Tobago for Mozambican passport holders. | Not required |
Apply early — don't risk it
eVisa processing can take longer than expected, especially during peak travel seasons. Submit your application at least 3 weeks before departure to avoid last-minute stress.
Keep a printed copy of your eVisa
You'll need to show your eVisa at check-in and to immigration officers upon arrival. Having a printed copy is safer than relying on your phone's battery.
No visa, no boarding
Airlines will not let you board a flight to Trinidad and Tobago without a valid visa. Double-check your eVisa approval before heading to the airport.
