Immigration

You can enter the country with a valid passport.  The institute will provide you with an electronic letter to the immigration officer at the airport which will state the purpose and length of your visit and your proposed address in Trinidad. He will then stamp your passport giving you 5 days to apply for the student permit.

After you have completed your registration the institute will provide you with the required forms and guide you in the process of applying for the student permit.  The fee for a student permit is approximately US 100.00 and it is paid directly at the immigration office in Port of Spain.  
You must present yourself to the Immigration Office within the first 5 days of your course of study.
