New fees for ap­pli­ca­tions and ap­provals for cit­i­zen­ship, reg­is­tra­tion, and nat­u­ral­i­sa­tion in Trinidad and To­ba­go will take ef­fect from Jan­u­ary 1, 2026, fol­low­ing amend­ments to the Cit­i­zen­ship of the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go Reg­u­la­tions.

The reg­u­la­tions, which re­voke and re­place the Sec­ond Sched­ule, set fees rang­ing from $50 to $200 for ap­pli­ca­tions, with ad­di­tion­al ap­proval charges be­tween $400 and $1,800 de­pend­ing on the cat­e­go­ry. Cit­i­zens of CARI­COM and Com­mon­wealth coun­tries will pay low­er fees in cer­tain cas­es.

Un­der the re­vised sched­ule, the grant of a Cer­tifi­cate of Cit­i­zen­ship to a mi­nor un­der Sec­tion 5 at­tracts an ap­pli­ca­tion fee of $100, with a fur­ther $500 payable if the ap­pli­ca­tion is ap­proved.
