Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Spanish passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Grenada. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Grenadian law, but airlines may ask for at least 6 months validity — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking out of Grenada within the 90-day visa-free period ready to show. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Grenada. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the immigration desk. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Keep a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your expenses in Grenada. There is no set minimum amount, but having at least $100 USD per day of stay is a safe benchmark if asked. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the gate. Renew early.
No visa, but still need proof of onward travel
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers often ask to see a return or onward ticket. Have a screenshot or printed copy ready. If you don't have one, you may be asked to buy a ticket on the spot.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport
After landing, follow signs to the immigration hall. There are usually two queues: one for Grenadian citizens and CARICOM nationals, and another for all other passport holders. Join the 'Other Passports' line.
2
Present your documents at the immigration counter
Hand over your passport and completed arrival card (you'll get it on the plane or at the airport). The officer will check your passport validity, blank page, and may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Answer questions clearly.
3
Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp 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.
4
Collect your luggage and clear customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Then proceed through customs — declare any items over the duty-free allowance (e.g., alcohol, tobacco, gifts). If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Grenada before the 90 days are up and re-enter, or apply for a longer-term visa from the Grenadian immigration office in St. George's before your 90 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
Only if you are arriving from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission. If you're flying directly from Spain or another non-endemic country, you do not need the vaccine. Check the latest requirements from the Grenadian Ministry of Health before travel.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at the border. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before booking your trip.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism and business visits only (e.g., meetings, conferences). If you plan to work, study, or volunteer, you must apply for the appropriate visa or work permit before you travel.
No, there is no online arrival declaration for Grenada. You will fill out a paper arrival card on the plane or at the airport. Keep it simple — just your personal details, flight info, and accommodation address.
The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). Euros are not widely accepted. Bring US dollars (cash) or exchange at the airport or local banks. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels and larger restaurants, but smaller shops and taxis prefer cash.
Typically 15–30 minutes for non-CARICOM passport holders, but it can be longer during peak hours (late afternoon when multiple flights arrive). Have your documents ready to speed things up.
