The British Government could be imposing visa requirements for Trinidadians to visit the United Kingdom.

The consideration follows concerns about the involvement of Trinidadians in criminal activities.
The UK has been complaining about Trinidadians tendering fake passports and being involved in drug trafficking and illegal migration.

The UK Caribbean affairs minister is advising Trinidad and Tobago to better monitor individuals, who leave the twin island-nation for the United Kingdom.
