Frequently asked questions

If you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (e.g., parts of South America or Africa), you may need to show a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Mexico is not a yellow fever country, so if you fly direct from Mexico, no vaccine is required. But if you've recently traveled to a risk area, bring your certificate.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month validity is strictly enforced.
Yes, the same visa-free rules apply. You'll clear immigration at the port of entry (e.g., Kingstown Cruise Ship Terminal or a marina). Have your passport and onward ticket ready. The officer may ask for proof of your vessel's clearance.
No, departure tax is included in your airline ticket. You don't need to pay anything extra when leaving.
The local 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 Kingstown. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels and larger restaurants.
