Min­is­ter of For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs Sean Sobers be­lieves he can get the Unit­ed King­dom gov­ern­ment to ease its visa re­quire­ments for Trinidad and To­ba­go na­tion­als, as he says a sol­id so­lu­tion has been found.

On March 12, the UK gov­ern­ment an­nounced that all na­tion­als of T&T will re­quire a visa to en­ter that coun­try, in­clud­ing for short vis­its.

The de­ci­sion came in re­sponse to what the UK gov­ern­ment de­scribed as a “sig­nif­i­cant in­crease” in T&T na­tion­als ar­riv­ing as vis­i­tors and then seek­ing asy­lum.
