Venezuelan migrants get another extension on their work permits

Government has given yet another Work Permit extension to Venezuelan nationals living in Trinidad and Tobago.

The duration of the Work Permit Exemption granted to Venezuelan nationals in T&T, who submitted renewal documents between June 20, 2023 and August 11, 2023, has been extended to December 31, 2024.

The Ministry of National Security advised that a list of approved Minister’s Permits numbers will be posted, in tranches, to its website and social media pages, over the coming weeks.

The list will indicate when people holding those permit numbers must visit the relevant Immigration office to collect their new Minister’s Permits and update their registration cards.

The Ministry said further information on the collection requirements and process will be outlined to registrants in a subsequent statement.
