How to Apply for a Trinidad and Tobago eVisa
Citizens of African countries not included on the visa-free list are not entirely without options. Trinidad and Tobago operates an eVisa system that allows eligible nationals to apply online ahead of their trip.
To complete an eVisa application, travellers will need a valid email address, a passport with a minimum of six months' validity, a digital passport-sized photograph in JPG format, supporting documents in PDF format, and a valid Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card to cover the application fee.
The multiple-entry eVisa costs 800 Trinidad and Tobago dollars, and applicants are advised that this fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of their application.
The ministry also recommends that prospective applicants review the frequently asked questions section of the portal before beginning the process.
