Key Information About Trinidad and Tobago Visa and Travel Tips
Here are some valuable information to bear in mind as you prepare for your next trip to Trinidad and Tobago
Risk Level
Trinidad and Tobago has a high rate of petty crimes, especially in Trinidad, the largest Island, and the commercial nerve center. You should take all safety precautions when out in the open such as concealing your valuables or not dressing affluently in public.
Visa Extensions
You may be able to extend your visa in Trinidad and Tobago, but the only way to get accurate information is to visit the local immigration office nearest to your hotel. Also, make sure you apply for the extension at least 2 weeks before your visa expires. Applying for an extension on an expired visa is not allowed.
Mobility
It is best to rent a car or hire an Uber to move around since public transportation comes with moderate risks. If you must use public transport, keep your valuables in sight and learn the bus schedule so you are never late.
Natural Disasters
Unlike some other territories in the region, Trinidad and Tobago has a limited history of natural disasters. When they occur, they cause minimal damage and disruption to public life. However, the islands have a history of hurricanes and severe storms, so some areas are marked as vulnerable. Avoid staying or visiting those areas for your safety.
Terrorism Threat
Trinidad has never had a history of terrorist attacks, but the risk persists. According to a report, over 100 residents of the Island have been linked to terrorist cells in Iraq and Syria, raising the threat of a homeland attack. Always read security reports before you visit the Island, and always remain conscious of your environment.
Financial Scams
There are cases of ATM scams in Trinidad and Tobago, so be very careful of your surroundings when inputting your pin into the machine.
Nightlife
Trinidad and Tobago have a rich night love, especially in Tobago, which happens to be the tourist epicenter. However, walking at night has its own risk, so be careful when out in the city; it is safer to walk in groups rather than alone. Lastly, avoid isolated spots or areas you are unfamiliar with. Areas to visit cautiously include Port of Spain, Belmont, East Dry River, Charlotte Street, and Laventille.
