Kenyan passport holders can visit Grenada without a visa for up to 90 days. This policy is in effect for 2026, making travel straightforward for tourism or business.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Kenyan passport needs to be valid for at least the full 90 days you plan to stay in Grenada. Immigration at Maurice Bishop International Airport checks this at the counter — they won't let you through if it expires sooner. | 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 90 days — airlines also check this before boarding in Nairobi or your transit point. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Grenada. Officers at the airport sometimes ask where you're staying — having a booking confirmation ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Grenada doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but around $50–$100 USD per day is a safe benchmark — officers may ask if you look underprepared. | Recommended |
Travel insurance is not mandatory, but smart
Grenada's healthcare system is limited. A hospital stay for something like a broken leg can cost $500–$1,000 per day. Travel insurance covers that and gives you peace of mind.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport has less than 6 months validity, you may be denied boarding even if you have a visa-free entry. Check your passport's expiry date now.

You'll land at the main airport in St. George's. Follow signs to immigration. There's usually one queue for all arrivals.

Present your passport and documents
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will check your passport validity, ask about your stay, and may ask for your return ticket or accommodation. Answer clearly and briefly.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave Grenada before the 90 days are up. If you need to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a visa or residence permit before your current stay expires.
If you're just transiting and don't leave the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require a transit visa for certain nationalities. For stays over 24 hours or leaving the airport, you need the visa-free entry.
You'll likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Grenadian immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. There are no exceptions for short trips.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits. Any paid work requires a work permit. If you plan to work remotely for a foreign employer, it's a grey area — check with the Grenadian immigration office before you go.
At minimum: your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking. Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Keep digital copies on your phone in case you lose the originals.
No, there is no arrival declaration required for Kenyan passport holders. You just go through immigration with your passport and documents.
Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, or a ban from re-entering Grenada. The exact penalty depends on how long you overstay. Always leave before your 90 days are up.
