The UN Refugee Agency will permanently close its national office in Trinidad and Tobago on August 31 due to global funding shortfalls.

The Port-of-Spain office will stop serving the public from July 25.

All operations will be managed remotely by the UNHCR’s Multi-Country Office in Panama, supported by a minimal staff presence in T&T.
