What governments advise Travel with caution

This map reads stronger than the world map's colour, and both are right. The world map shades Trinidad and Tobago by its Atlas Risk Score — 35, Low — which blends government advice with crime, health, roads and natural hazards. This map shows the advice alone, and the strongest level anywhere in Trinidad and Tobago is “travel with caution”.

What this means in practice

  • Whole countryTravel with caution. No government currently advises against travel to any part of this country. The base colour reflects general caution levels only. A state of emergency is in force nationally over violent crime, giving police extra powers of search and detention. No curfew or restriction on movement applies.

Advisories change without warning. Check the official one for your own nationality — linked at the top of this page — before you book.
