Vietnam to Trinidad and Tobago visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Vietnam ordinary passport holders are not on Trinidad and Tobago's visa-exempt list and must obtain a visitor (entry) visa before travel. Vietnamese nationals are also excluded from the visa-on-arrival "waiver" channel, so the visa must be secured in advance through a Trinidad and Tobago Consulate/High Commission (or the eVisa portal where accepted). As of 2026, Trinidad and Tobago requires Vietnamese ordinary passport holders to hold a visa for any short tourist visit. Vietnam does not appear on any of Trinidad and Tobago's visa-waiver tiers (indefinite-stay Commonwealth list, the 90-day list, the EU 90/180 list, or the 30-day list). Trinidad and Tobago specifically lists Vietnam among "Far East" nationalities whose visa applications must be submitted at least four weeks before departure, and Vietnam is among the restricted nationalities that cannot use the on-arrival visa-waiver facility. Applications are filed at a Trinidad and Tobago Consulate General / High Commission (Vietnam has no resident Trinidad and Tobago mission, so a regional office such as London or a nearby accredited mission handles it), with an online eVisa portal operated by the Ministry of Homeland Security. The standard visitor visa is valid 90 days from issue, comes in single-entry (about TT$200) and multiple-entry (about TT$400; the eVisa portal lists TT$800 for multiple entry) variants, and the immigration officer at the port of entry decides the actual length of stay granted (commonly up to 90 days). Travelers should budget 10 working days to four weeks for processing and carry proof of onward travel, funds, and accommodation. Trinidad and Tobago is in the Caribbean and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
