Entry requirements

| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the length of your stay in Trinidad and Tobago. Airlines at check-in will verify your passport validity matches your travel dates. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Trinidad and Tobago | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave within 30 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready — airlines also check this before boarding. | Recommended |

Passport validity is strictly enforced

No visa, but still need a return ticket
