The British government has announced that Trinidad and Tobago nationals travelling to its country for a period of six months will not be required to have a visa.



Foreign Affairs minister Paula Gopee-Scoon made the announcement yesterday.



The British government had announced last July that it was considering the introduction of visa regimes for Trinidad and Tobago and 11 other countries, including, Venezuela, South Africa, Botswana, Brazil and Bolivia.



The countries were given a six-month period, ending in January 2009, to ensure the specific risks their nationals posed to the UK were significantly reduced.
