Check your Trinidad and Tobagovisa application status.

For study in Trinidad and Tobago, the document you need is a Student Permit, and you apply for it online on the ttconnect portal. The Immigration Division of the Ministry of National Security decides ¹.

Visa or permit

A Ministry of National Security PDF lists Bangladesh among the countries whose citizens do not need a visa to enter Trinidad and Tobago ². The file is dated February 2024 in its web address, so check that the list still applies before you travel ². A student permit is a separate document from entry rules ². The High Commission of Trinidad and Tobago in New Delhi is accredited to Bangladesh ³.

Applying for the Student Permit

The permit is for full-time academic programmes ¹. You will need:

• a passport valid for at least 12 months
• an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution
• a digital passport-sized photo in JPEG format
• supporting documents as PDFs
• a valid email address, and a Visa or Mastercard to pay ¹

Renewals also need an assessment form ¹.

The fee for non-CARICOM nationals is TTD 200, and it is not refundable. (CARICOM nationals pay TTD 100.) ¹ Each PDF can be up to 450KB, with up to 20 files ¹. You cannot change an application after you submit and pay, so check every file first ¹.

Tracking the application

ttconnect has a "Track Application" tool. It shows the status, and once the permit is approved you get an email with the Student Permit attached ¹. The portal page does not give a processing time or explain individual status words.

Keep the email address and reference you used on ttconnect handy when you use the status check above.
