For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A visa from a Trinidad and Tobago diplomatic or consular officer is required where applicable, but the rule does not apply to citizens of Commonwealth countries or nationals of countries with Visa Abolition Agreements with Trinidad and Tobago. The Ministry directs travellers to the eVisa site to check which nationalities need a visa.
