BESIDES Trinidad and Tobago, citizens from at least two other Caricom countries – Jamaica and Dominica – require visas to travel to the United Kingdom.

On March 12, the British High Commission in Port of Spain announced that, with immediate effect, all TT nationals will need a visa before travelling to or transiting through the UK, including for short visits.

The UK government cited an upsurge in asylum applications, saying the measure aims to prevent abuse of the system.
