Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Romanian passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Trinidad and Tobago. Airlines at departure check this before you board. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Piarco International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card | Carry enough funds for your stay — around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. A recent bank statement or credit card works as proof. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Immigration officers at Piarco International Airport are strict about the 6-month validity rule. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be refused entry — no exceptions. Check your passport's expiry date before booking flights.
Travel insurance is cheap insurance
While not mandatory, a basic travel insurance policy costs around €20-40 for a week and covers medical emergencies, trip cancellation, and lost luggage. Hospital stays in Trinidad can cost $500+ per day without insurance.
