Do China passport holders need a visa to visit TT?

Yes, a visa is required. Chinese ordinary passport holders must obtain a Trinidad and Tobago entry visa before travel. As of 2025 all entry visas are electronic (eVisa), applied for online through the official portal. A Chinese ordinary (normal) passport holder needs a visa to enter Trinidad and Tobago for tourism. They are not eligible for visa-free entry or for the visa-on-arrival "Waiver of the Visa" program, from which holders of Chinese normal passports are explicitly excluded. The only visa-free exception is for Chinese diplomatic or service/official passport holders. Trinidad and Tobago has transitioned to a fully electronic visa system: all entry visas are now processed online through the official eVisa portal (evisa.ttservices.online), operated by the Immigration Division of the Ministry of National Security/Homeland Security. Applicants submit a digital application with a passport valid at least six months beyond the intended stay, a passport-style photo, supporting documents, and proof of onward travel, then pay the visa fee by card. The fee is 800 TTD for a multiple-entry eVisa; the Embassy in Beijing fee schedule lists RMB 315 single entry / RMB 505 multiple entry. Mainland applicants have historically been processed via the Embassy in Beijing, including a possible in-person interview, with processing around 10 working days. Approval is delivered by email; an eVisa does not guarantee entry, which remains at the discretion of immigration officers at the port of entry.
