Having a TCI Travel Authorization will also help make things easier if you have any long-term aims on going to the island of Turks and Caicos. If you plan to remain on the island for a lengthy time period, you will need to acquire a visa. Your visa has to be from the state that you're traveling to. It cannot be the same country as the one that issued your Travel Authorization. This will ensure that you stay legally present in the country you are visiting.
