Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your stay | Your Italian passport needs to be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Grenada. No minimum validity beyond departure is required, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | You may be asked where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact number works fine. Keep a copy on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers occasionally ask for evidence of sufficient funds. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $500 USD for a short stay. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Grenadian immigration counts the 6-month validity from your arrival date, not your departure. If your passport expires in 5 months, you'll be refused entry. Renew early.
Overstaying is not forgiven
There is no grace period. Overstay even by one day and you risk a fine, deportation, or a ban from re-entering. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration'. There's usually one queue for all non-citizens. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation details ready.
2
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, length of stay, and where you're staying. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with an entry date. Check the stamp says the correct number of days (up to 90). Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when you leave.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually a quick walk-through. Declare any goods over the duty-free limit.
