Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a visa or residence permit before your 90 days are up. Overstaying can lead to fines or deportation.
Grenada requires proof of yellow fever vaccination if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Ghana is on that list, so you'll need to show your yellow fever certificate at immigration. Get the vaccine at least 10 days before travel.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Grenadian immigration. Renew your passport before you travel. The 6-month validity is strictly enforced.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. If you plan to work, study, or volunteer, you need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before you travel.
No. There is no arrival declaration required for Ghanaian passport holders. You just fill out the standard immigration card on the plane or at the airport.
The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available at the airport and in St. George's. It's a good idea to carry some cash for taxis and small purchases.
Usually 5–10 minutes per person. During peak hours (when multiple flights arrive), it can take 20–30 minutes. The airport is small, so queues move quickly.
