Grenada: Visa Requirements

Visa requirements may change. Always verify the latest information through official government sources.

Visa-Free Entry Requirements

  • The traveler must carry a valid passport or another travel document acceptable to the immigration officer that proves the traveler's identity and nationality. Travelers benefiting from certain regional free movement arrangements may prove their identity and nationality with a photo-bearing national identity card or driver's license valid for the intended duration of stay.
  • A common minimum validity period applicable to all travelers for the passports of ordinary visa-free visitors has not been definitively specified in the central official source. For cruise passengers staying less than 24 hours in Grenada, the passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of the traveler's return to their home country. The required number of blank pages in the passport and the requirement for a machine-readable or biometric passport have not been definitively specified in the central official source.
  • Travelers must complete the online Immigration and Customs Form, which becomes available within 72 hours before arrival in Grenada. The form requires flight information, the traveler's passport details, a copy of the biographical information page of the travel document in PNG or JPEG format, and a valid email address. The immigration and customs receipts generated after completion must be saved to a mobile device or printed and presented to authorities upon arrival.
  • The traveler may only enter the country through an authorized port of entry, and those arriving by air must appear in person before an immigration officer. If the immigration officer deems it necessary, the officer may require the traveler to complete and sign an entry declaration, answer questions, or undergo a medical examination. The entry permit issued to a visitor or transit passenger may be subject to specific conditions, and the permit holder may be fingerprinted for identity verification purposes.
  • The traveler must have sufficient financial means to support themselves and any accompanying dependents. The specific document with which to prove financial sufficiency, the required period of bank statements, and the minimum amount required have not been definitively specified in the central official source.
  • The permitted duration of stay varies depending on the traveler's circumstances and the visitor permit granted at the border. Although official policy documents mention different visit durations such as 14 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, and six months, a common maximum period for all visa-free travelers has not been established. Those wishing to stay longer than the permitted duration or to be present for purposes of employment, study, or permanent residence must complete the appropriate visa and permit procedures.
  • It has not been definitively specified in the central official source that a round-trip ticket, accommodation document, and travel health insurance are common and mandatory entry documents for all visa-free travelers. The minimum coverage amount for insurance has also not been definitively specified in the central official source.

Visa on Arrival Requirements

  • The visa on arrival procedure is not a system where an application can be made directly and unprepared at the border. The traveler must obtain a pre-approval letter from the Grenada Immigration and Passport Office through Grenada's authorized diplomatic mission or consulate before travel. The visa is issued upon arrival in Grenada if pre-approval is granted.
  • The pre-approval application form must be completed in full and signed in blue or black ink. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the intended date of departure from Grenada. A color copy of the passport's biographical information page, a document confirming accommodation in Grenada, and one passport photograph taken within the last three months must be submitted. The photograph must be affixed to the application form.
  • Persons who are permanent residents in the country where the application is made and who require a re-entry permit may be asked for a document showing their right to re-enter their country of residence. For in-person applications, the original residence card may be requested; for postal applications, a notarized copy of the front and back of the card may be requested.
  • The instructions of the Grenada Embassy in Washington recommend that the application be made at least six weeks before travel, and the processing time is indicated as approximately ten working days from receipt of the application. These timeframes may vary depending on the mission where the application is made.
  • In the Washington instructions, the pre-approval letter fee is USD 10. Certified bank check or money order is accepted; cash is accepted only for in-person transactions. Additional postage or international courier fees may be charged for sending the pre-approval. Upon arrival in Grenada, the single-entry visa fee is published as EC$200 per person, and the multiple-entry visa fee as EC$375. As fees and payment methods may vary by mission and current schedule, they should be reconfirmed with the mission where the application is made.
  • The visa is valid only for the period specified on it. A universal validity period or maximum stay duration has not been definitively specified in the central official source. The visa holder may not work without obtaining separate permission from the Grenada Ministry of Labour.
  • Like all travelers, persons using a visa on arrival must complete the online Immigration and Customs Form within 72 hours before arrival. Flight information, passport, a copy of the biographical information page in PNG or JPEG, and a valid email address must be submitted to the system; the generated receipts must be carried digitally or in print to be shown upon arrival.
  • The required number of blank pages in the passport, the dimensions and background color of the photograph, travel health insurance, the insurance coverage amount, and the minimum financial sufficiency amount have not been definitively specified in the central official source.

Consular Visa Application Requirements

  • The visa application must be made to one of Grenada's authorized embassies, high commissions, or consulates. The application procedure, fee, payment method, and some supporting documents may vary depending on the diplomatic mission where the application is made and the applicant's country of legal residence.
  • The application form must be completed in full in block capitals using blue or black ink, and dated and signed by the applicant. The form requests first and last name, marital status, date and place of birth, nationality at birth and current nationality, gender, passport number, place and dates of issue, occupation, home address, telephone information, intended date of arrival, address and contact person in Grenada, intended duration of stay, previous visa applications to Grenada, financial resources to be used during travel, purpose of travel, and the names, ages, and places of birth of accompanying children.
  • The passport must be valid for at least six months from the intended date of departure from Grenada and must be submitted with the application. A clear and legible copy of the passport's biographical information page may also be requested. The required number of blank pages in the passport and the requirement for a machine-readable or biometric passport have not been definitively specified in the central official source.
  • Two identical passport photographs must be submitted. The photographs must have been taken within the last three months, and one of the photographs must be certified by a magistrate or notary. The exact dimensions, background color, file format, and other technical specifications of the photograph have not been definitively specified in the central official source.
  • The checklist published by the Grenada Embassy in Beijing requests, if applicable, the flight itinerary and hotel reservation, as well as an invitation letter from the host in Grenada. Flight and hotel documents are indicated as documents to be submitted 'if booked'. The mandatory content of the invitation letter, the identifying or passport copy of the inviting person, sponsor documents, and evidence of the sponsor's financial sufficiency have not been detailed in the central official source.
  • Persons who are permanent residents in the country where the application is made may be asked for a valid residence card, visa, or re-entry permit proving their right to re-enter that country. For in-person applications, the original document may be requested; for postal applications, a notarized copy of the front and back of the document may be requested.
  • Applications must be made at least six weeks before the intended date of departure. In the published diplomatic mission instructions, the standard processing time is approximately ten working days from receipt of a complete application. The time may be extended if additional review or approval by authorities in Grenada is required.
  • Visa fees vary according to the mission where the application is made. In the schedule published by the Beijing Embassy, the single-entry visa is USD 100 and the multiple-entry visa is USD 250; bank transfer, online government payment system, and in-person cash payment options are indicated. In the Washington Embassy instructions, the single-entry visa is USD 200 and the multiple-entry visa is USD 375; certified check, money order, online payment, and in-person cash payment are accepted. In the London High Commission instructions, the single-entry visa fee is GBP 78. The applicant must verify the current amount and accepted payment method with the mission to which they will apply.
  • The visa may be issued as single-entry or multiple-entry and is valid only for the period specified on it. A common visa validity period or maximum stay duration for all applicants has not been definitively specified in the central official source. The application form includes purposes of tourist visit, business, and study. The visa holder may not work in the country without the permission of the Grenada Ministry of Labour.
  • The application form requires the declaration of the financial means to be used during the journey. Additionally, the entry regulations require that the traveler have sufficient means to support themselves and any accompanying dependents. The required period of bank statements, the minimum account balance, and the types of financial evidence that will be accepted have not been definitively specified in the central official source.
  • A general checklist for a birth certificate, parental consent, or custody document for minors has not been published. The application form only requires the names, ages, and places of birth of accompanying children to be reported. The translation, apostille, or legalization requirements for these documents have also not been definitively specified in the central official source.
  • Whether travel health insurance is mandatory and the applicable minimum coverage amount have not been definitively specified in the central official source. Fingerprinting or an interview has not been published as a mandatory step applicable to everyone in the standard consular application. However, persons granted an entry permit may be fingerprinted at the border for identity verification purposes and may undergo a medical examination if deemed necessary.
  • All visa holders must complete the online Immigration and Customs Form within 72 hours before arrival. Flight information, the travelers' passports, a copy of the biographical information page in PNG or JPEG, and a valid email address must be prepared. The generated immigration and customs receipts must be saved to a mobile device or printed and presented to authorities upon arrival.

Grenada: Key Destinations

St. George's, the capital and largest city, serves as Grenada's primary gateway through Maurice Bishop International Airport. Visitors typically arrive here before exploring the island's southern coast and downtown markets.

Grenada's interior features lush rainforests and spice plantations, while its coastline offers sandy beaches and coral reefs. The island's cultural blend of African, French, and British influences is evident in its architecture and festivals.

Travelers often plan trips combining Grenada with nearby islands like Carriacou or Petite Martinique via domestic flights or ferries. Rental cars and taxis provide flexible options for exploring the main island's attractions.
