Deep breath. Here's the answer.

Australia is not on Trinidad and Tobago's list of visa-exempt countries, so apply for an eVisa (TTD 800, multiple entry) before you travel. Smartraveller advises applying at least 14 business days before travel — that is advice on lead time, not a guaranteed processing time. A waiver on arrival may be granted (fee TTD 800 / USD 134, cash), but it is at the officer's discretion and not a guaranteed substitute for an advance visa. Length of stay is decided by the immigration officer.
