Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der an­nounced that 7,324 mi­grant chil­dren have been reg­is­tered in Trinidad and To­ba­go as part of the on­go­ing mi­grant reg­is­tra­tion pro­gramme.

Reg­is­tra­tion for chil­dren is free, while all adult mi­grants are re­quired to pay $700. The fig­ures come amid con­tin­ued ef­forts to process both adult and child mi­grants through the gov­ern­ment’s on­line reg­is­tra­tion por­tal.

Min­is­ter Alexan­der pro­vid­ed the lat­est da­ta, re­port­ing that the on­line plat­form has record­ed 1,249,888 hits, with 12,400 ap­pli­ca­tions sub­mit­ted and 16,466 in­com­plete or un­sub­mit­ted ap­pli­ca­tions.
