Trinidad and Tobago

Singaporeans can visit Trinidad and Tobago for up to 90 days without a visa.

Visitors must have a return or onward ticket. If you are travelling to Trinidad and Tobago from or transited through a yellow fever endemic country, a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry into the country.

As entry and immigration requirements may change at short notice, we advise you to visit the Tobago Tourism Agency website (https://visittobago.gov.tt/go-plan/getting-to-tobago) or Trinidad’s tourism website (https://visittrinidad.tt/plan-your-trip/travel-tips/) for the most updated information and to contact your travel agency or the nearest Embassy of Trinidad & Tobago to ensure that you have accurate information for your specific purpose prior to departure.

On 30 December 2024, the Trinidad and Tobago government declared a nationwide state of emergency in response to gang violence. In January 2025, the Trinidad and Tobago government announced a three-month extension to the emergency security measures. While the state of emergency is in effect, security forces may conduct searches of persons and property, without the need for warrants, as well as arrest and detain persons of interest. MFA advises Singaporeans to exercise a high degree of caution while in Trinidad and Tobago, and to take all necessary precautions for their personal safety, including monitoring the local news and heeding the instructions of local authorities.

Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or wearing jewellery. If robbed, it is safer to hand over your cash and valuables without resistance. Violence and shootings can occur in some areas of the Port of Spain. Use only official taxis. Engage only reputable tour operators and local guides.

Drug offences carry heavy penalties. Pack your own luggage and do not accept ‘gifts’ from strangers or new acquaintances.

It is illegal for anyone, including children, to wear clothing with camouflage patterns or possess items with camouflage patterns.

Prior to your travel, consult your doctor for travel health advice regarding vaccinations required or recommended and purchase comprehensive travel insurance.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a risk of yellow fever transmission in Trinidad and Tobago. To fully protect yourself against yellow fever during your travels, you are advised to receive the yellow fever vaccination 10 days before your travels. All travellers, including Singapore residents, who arrive in Singapore from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission (i.e. regardless of area, city or region) are required to have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate and present it to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer at the immigration counter upon arrival to Singapore.

The International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever is only considered valid 10 days after vaccination and the validity lasts for the life of the person vaccinated.

Travellers without a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (e.g. unvaccinated individuals, including those who are ineligible to receive the vaccination, such as children aged 1 year old and below and individuals with contraindications, and travellers whose certificate has yet to become valid), are liable to be quarantined under Section 31 of the Infectious Disease Act, for six days from date of departure from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Quarantine must be served at designated vector-free government quarantine facility. Non-residents who refuse quarantine will be denied entry into Singapore.

Please refer to MOH website https://www.moh.gov.sg/diseases-updates/yellow-fever for more information on yellow fever.

Mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue and chikungunya, are prevalent in certain areas. Take precautions against insect bites.

Trinidad and Tobago experience earthquakes, severe tropical storms and hurricanes which may affect infrastructure and accessibility in the region. Monitor the local media and weather forecasts and adhere to the instructions of local authorities.
