IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Processing of multiple-entry visas for foreign workers applying in-country is experiencing significant delays.
What does the change mean? Applications for multiple-entry visas submitted in-country are taking at least two months.
Background: Multiple-entry visas – issued after a foreign national arrives in the country – allow foreign employees in Trinidad and Tobago to enter and exit the country without having to pay a re-entry tax. Due to recent internal affairs, government processing times are longer than normal.
BAL Analysis: Foreign nationals applying for multiple-entry visas should plan for significantly longer processing times. In addition, there have recently been cases of multiple-entry permit holders being erroneously charged the re-entry fee at the airport. Travelers should be prepared for possible miscommunication at entry points.
