Trinidad and Tobago has launched an online arrival and departure card platform, replacing the traditional paper forms previously completed by travelers. The Immigration Division of the Ministry of Homeland Security announced that the system went live on March 17, 2026.
All persons entering or leaving Trinidad and Tobago are now required to complete their arrival or departure card online before travel.
How the new system works
The platform is free, secure, and allows travelers to complete the form up to 72 hours before travel.
Once submitted, travelers will receive a receipt containing a QR code. This receipt should be downloaded or saved and presented to Immigration and Customs officers upon arrival or departure.
For a full walkthrough of the form, the 72-hour window and the separate departure submission, see our guide to the Trinidad and Tobago Online Arrival Card.
