Entry requirements

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. | 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 your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No extension available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you may face fines or future entry bans. Plan your departure carefully.
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 queue for all non-citizens.
2
Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. This usually takes 2–5 minutes.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel. Customs is straightforward — declare any goods over the duty-free limit. Then you're free to exit.
