As such, TT nationals were informed that they still require a valid visa to enter the US.

As Newsday reported, a spokesman for the US Embassy said the embassy had to post a notice about this on its Facebook page after rumours began spreading on the internet about TT nationals being eligible for visa waivers.

The rumours, posted on the CNNALIVE website, claimed that the US Department of State had updated the number of qualified Visa Waiver Program designated countries’ list from 38 to 39, with TT being the 39th country to be added.

The embassy’s post has been shared over 108 times with a number of comments.
