Effective today, 12 March 2025, all nationals of Trinidad and Tobago will need a visa before travelling to or through (transiting) the UK, including on short visits.
This is in addition to established requirements to obtain a visa to travel to the UK for the purpose of Work, Study and Settlement.
There will be a six-week transition period until 15:00 on 23 April 2025, during which time visitors who booked their travel and obtained an ETA before the changes can still enter the UK without a visa. There is also a transition period for passengers who are transiting via the UK to an onward destination.

Alleged gangsters and their families, and a local ‘influencer’ are among the almost 800 Trinidad and Tobago nationals who have applied for asylum in the United Kingdom since 2023.
The number of asylum seekers was disclosed in an ‘explanatory memorandum’ that accompanied the statement detailing the changes to the immigration rules present to the Parliament in the UK on Wednesday.
According to the document, there has been a significant increase in nationals of Trinidad and Tobago who have travelled to the UK for purposes that are not permitted under the Immigration Rules for Visitors, such as to live, work or claim asylum in the UK.
In particular, there has been a sustained increase in asylum claims by nationals of Trinidad and Tobago. In the most recent eight quarters (2023 Quarter 1 to 2024 Quarter 4) there were 79, 111, 55, 108, 73, 56, 106 and 209 asylum claims (including dependents) from nationals of Trinidad and Tobago. This compares with an average of 49 asylum claims per year between 2015 and 2019.
A majority of asylum claims from nationals of Trinidad and Tobago were made at port on arrival in the UK. This adds significantly to operational pressures at the border, diverting staff from other priorities.
Trinidad and Tobago’s visa status will be kept under review; particularly with regards to whether the visa introduction affects the number of individuals claiming asylum from within the UK and the internal security situation in Trinidad and Tobago. In the interim, nationals of Trinidad and Tobago will need to apply for and obtain a visa prior to visiting the UK.
As a result, Trinidad and Tobago has been removed from the list of countries whose nationals are eligible to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
In January 2025, CCN journalist Mark Bassant reported on a secret intelligence report prepared by Trinidad and Tobago law enforcement authorities being sent to United Kingdom authorities warning of the presence of a top member of the Seven gang, who “poses a serious and immediate threat to the safety and security of the United Kingdom”.
The Sunday Express obtained an exclusive copy of the report that several intelligence sources confirmed was sent to the United Kingdom’s Immigration Enforcement Agency, Metropolitan Police and the UK intelligence services on December 6, 2024.
In the report, the top gang member is described as “a prominent organised crime figure from Trinidad and Tobago” of the notorious Rasta City gang called “Seven”.
“His criminal network is involved in a range of illicit activities, including narcotics trafficking, arms smuggling, unlicensed gold mining, gold smuggling, targeted killings, and international money laundering,” states the report.
The Express also reported that a gang member named in the report has sent for seven of his children since settling in the United Kingdom.
