Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Australian passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Grenada. No minimum validity period beyond your departure date is required by Grenadian law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they will check the date matches your intended 90-day stay. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. Carry a printed confirmation or a digital copy on your phone showing your accommodation details for the first few nights. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Grenada does not publish a fixed minimum amount, but officers expect you to show you can cover your expenses. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing available funds — around USD $50–$100 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Grenada, not from when you leave. If it's close to expiry, renew before you go.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free period cannot be extended. If you overstay, you risk fines or being barred from re-entry. Plan your exit accordingly.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
You'll land at the main airport in St. George's. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single hall, usually not too busy.
2
Queue at the 'Non-Citizens' counter
Join the line for foreign passport holders. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. You'll be called forward one at a time.
3
Present your passport and answer questions
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying. Answer clearly. They rarely ask for supporting documents unless something seems off.
4
Get your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay (usually 90 days). Check the stamp before walking away — make sure the dates are correct.
5
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Then walk through customs — green channel if you have nothing to declare, red if you do. That's it — you're in.
