The Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce acknowledges the recent decision by the Government of the United Kingdom to implement a visa requirement for all Trinidad and Tobago nationals, effective March 11, 2025. According to the UK Home Office, the decision stems from a rise in asylum claims by Trinidad and Tobago nationals over the past year. While immigration control remains a sovereign right of every nation, The T&T Chamber recognizes the concerns raised by local stakeholders regarding the timing and implications of this policy shift.
