Best time to go to Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago's weather in one word – hot. Temperatures typically stay above 30°C even in December, so the year's divided by its wet and dry periods instead. Tropical rain season is between June and November and brings in the occasional storm, so pack waterproofs if you're visiting during the UK’s summer or autumn.

Passports and Visas

British nationals do not need a visa to visit Trinidad and Tobago. Visitors are generally given 90 days to remain in the country but extensions can be obtained from the Passport and Immigration Department, 67 Frederick Street, Port of Spain.

You must be in possession of a valid return ticket and have sufficient funds for your stay in Trinidad and Tobago. Further details on these and other entry requirements can be found on the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago’s Immigration Division website or by contacting the High Commission of Trinidad and Tobago in London.

Health and safety
