Bob smith To info@mns.gov.tt Hello I am a UK citizen and I am hoping to come to Trinidad & Tobago for an unforseen amout of time, the reason for this is that I am travelling all winter and my return ticket is for May 9th when I will fly back to England for the summer. I will be flying back to the UK from Miami, USA. I am in Panama city, Panama at the moment and I hope to fly to Port of Spain on the 14th February. When I asked questions about flying to TT in Panama they asked me did I have an onward flight ticket, I said I dont need one because I have my Miami ticket back home also when I get to Trinidad I can make up mind how I want to get back to Miami. I am hoping to visit a good few of the Caribbean Islands on the way but I dont want to have to book onward tickets as I might want to stay longer in various places. I am a pensioner and I have adequate funds to do trips like this every winter, my question is ..... do I have to book an onward flight from TT or is my Miami return ticket okay. Bob Smith
