Tobago Immigration & Entry Documentation

A guide to entry and immigration documentation for holidays on Tobago

Passports

Your passport must be valid for at least three months * after the end of your proposed visit. You may be asked to prove that you have a return or onward travel ticket, or the means to purchase such travel and you will also be asked for a fixed address for the period of your stay.

* The official T&T website appears unclear on the subject. One page (see here) quotes that passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the end of the proposed visit, whilst another (see here) quotes three months. According to the T&T Consulate in London, three months is the correct figure.
