T&T Launching New Online Arrival/Departure Platform For Passengers Soon

An online immigration and customs form will be officially launching soon in Trinidad and Tobago for persons flying in and out of the country. This marks a significant shift away from traditional paper forms to a digital system for immigration and customs processing. The new Trinidad and Tobago Online Arrival/Departure Platform — available at travel.gov.tt — went live temporarily on Sunday (21st December, 2025), but as of today (Tuesday 23rd December, 2025), visiting the link shows the following message: “Launching soon! By the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.”

The website previously said all passengers are required to complete the online immigration and customs form, which will be available seventy-two (72) hours prior to their arrival/departure. Passengers should fill in the form at a time and place convenient to them. Once the form is completed, they should save the immigration and customs receipts to their mobile device or have them printed in order to present to immigration and customs upon arrival/departure.

The site noted that using the online arrival/departure form will enhance the travel experience by providing travellers with an easy and convenient option that will improve the ease with which they transit through the Piarco International Airport.

To carry out the process, passengers will need to provide their flight information, Passport(s) of passengers, a copy of their Passport's biodata page (as a PNG or JPEG file), and a valid e-mail address.

The arrival form includes questions about residential status, how people are entering Trinidad and Tobago (air or sea), flight information, country, port and date of arrival, personal information, travel data, destination, health, family members and a customs declaration, among other questions.

The departure form contains similar questions, except for the customs declaration.

Passengers should ensure they complete the online form accurately and retain evidence of submission in order to avoid delays during inspection at ports of entry or departure.

Many Caribbean countries implemented online immigration and customs platforms during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, allowing for easy transit through their Airports.

More on this as it becomes available.
