Trinidad and Tobago

For parents and grandparents of a Trinidad and Tobago citizen or resident: this family route lets your son, daughter or grandchild sponsor you for residence in the country.

For people married to a Trinidad and Tobago citizen or resident: this is the family route to residence, based on your marriage rather than on time in the country.

For people who have lived in Trinidad and Tobago for five years: this is how you apply for residence under the Immigration Act - there is no investment shortcut, it is earned through time spent in the country.

For international students: all foreign nationals except residents of Trinidad and Tobago need this permit for the full duration of study, applied for online through the Immigration Division - registered, full-time students of the University of the West Indies St Augustine Campus are exempt.

For people moving to Trinidad and Tobago with a job: this is the employer-tied work permit a non-national needs to take up paid (or even unpaid) employment in the country.

For skilled nationals of other CARICOM countries: with a Skills Certificate you can live and work in Trinidad and Tobago without a work permit, under CARICOM free movement.
