Guide last updated September 30, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of your intended stay.
  • No visa or advance application required for stays up to 90 days.
  • Proof of onward or return travel.
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or address of host) and sufficient funds.
  • No biometrics required for visa-free entry.
  • Travel health insurance is recommended but not mandatory.

Visa types

  • Visa-free entry (used by essentially all Canadian visitors): up to 90 days, single entry, no fee.
  • Extension of Stay: for trips beyond 90 days, apply at the Immigration Division in Port of Spain before your permitted stay expires, fee TTD 200-400 depending on duration.
  • Work Permit: required separately for any paid employment, applied for by the employer in advance.

Entry conditions

  • Canadians may stay visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism, family visits, or business meetings (not paid local employment).
  • You must present a valid passport, and immigration officers may ask for proof of your return ticket and accommodation at the port of entry.
  • Extensions beyond 90 days must be requested from the Immigration Division before the initial period expires; overstaying can result in fines or future entry difficulties.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa-free entry: no fee, no processing time - stamped in on arrival.
  • Extension of stay: TTD 200-400 (about CAD 40-80), processed same-day to a few business days at the Immigration Division office.
  • No VFS/BLS service is used, since Canadians don't need to apply for entry in advance.

Tips for Canada travelers

  • Because entry is visa-free, focus your prep on having a confirmed return/onward ticket and accommodation details ready to show if asked.
  • If you're attending Carnival (February/March) or another peak event, book flights and accommodation well in advance - it's the busiest travel period and prices/availability tighten fast.
  • If you intend to extend your stay, visit the Immigration Division in Port of Spain before your 90 days run out rather than after.
  • Carry TTD cash for smaller vendors and taxis, though cards are widely accepted in Port of Spain and tourist areas.
