Entry requirements

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. Airlines may also check this before you board in Sri Lanka. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Grenada. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you can cover your expenses. Grenada does not publish a minimum amount, but showing at least USD 500 or equivalent is a safe bet. | Recommended |
