No. Short-stay entry to Colombia is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 90 days (extendable to 180 within calendar year) short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Colombia immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
