Visa obligations

In 2016, residents of Russia and Belarus are allowed to visit an exotic country without special permission, if the duration of the trip is no more than 14 days. But if they want to extend their vacation to them, as well as residents of neighboring countries, they will have to apply to the British Embassy for permission to enter Trinidad and Tobago.

If you recently visited countries with an epidemic of yellow fever, you will also need a certificate of vaccination against the disease.
