The Trinidad and Tobago stamp

Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there.

With 480,000 international arrivals in 2019, Trinidad and Tobago is rarer than 78% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.

What counts as a visit to Trinidad and Tobago

The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Trinidad and Tobago when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
