No visa-on-arrival for Nepali passports
Trinidad and Tobago does not offer visa-on-arrival or e-visa for Nepali citizens. You must get a visa from an embassy before you travel. Arriving without a visa means you will be denied entry and sent back on the next flight.
Embassy in New Delhi is your best bet
The Trinidad and Tobago High Commission in New Delhi handles visa applications for Nepali citizens. Contact them at +91-11-2615-5555 or email [email protected] to confirm the process. If you're not in India, you can apply by mail — but call first.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Trinidad and Tobago embassy
Find the Trinidad and Tobago embassy or consulate responsible for Nepal. There is no embassy in Kathmandu — the closest ones are in New Delhi (India) or London (UK). Email or call to confirm the exact application process, fees, and whether you can apply by mail.

Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, photos, application form, flight itinerary, hotel booking, bank statements, and travel insurance. Make copies of everything. Check that your passport has at least one blank page.

Submit your application
Submit the completed application form and all supporting documents to the embassy or consulate. You may need to appear in person for an interview. Pay the visa fee (typically $50-100 USD, but confirm with the embassy). Processing takes 5-15 working days.

Wait for processing
The embassy will review your application. They may contact you for additional documents or an interview. Do not book non-refundable flights until you have the visa in hand.

Collect your visa
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check the validity dates and any conditions (e.g., single or multiple entry). If applying by mail, include a prepaid return envelope.
