Rwandan passport holders can travel to Grenada visa-free for stays up to 90 days. This policy is in effect as of 2026. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the length of your stay in Grenada. Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport check this at the counter. Airlines also verify passport validity before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration at Grenada's airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. Airlines also check this before issuing a boarding pass. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Grenada ready. Immigration officers sometimes ask for this, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A simple booking confirmation email works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough funds for your stay. Grenada doesn't publish a fixed amount, but having at least $200–$300 USD in accessible funds covers most scenarios. Immigration rarely asks, but it's safer to have it. | Recommended |
Visa-free, but not automatic
Even though you don't need a visa, the immigration officer still has the final say. Always carry your return ticket and proof of accommodation. A clean, valid passport is non-negotiable.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to apply for a visa or permit from the Grenada Immigration Department before your current stay expires — but extensions are not granted under this visa-free arrangement.
No, there is no arrival declaration required for Grenada. You just show up with your passport and documents.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Grenada immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, you need a return or onward ticket. Immigration wants proof you'll leave within the 90-day period. A one-way ticket could get you denied entry.
No, it's not mandatory for entry. But it's strongly recommended — medical costs in Grenada are high, and insurance covers unexpected hospital stays or emergencies.
The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and shops, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs dispense XCD.
Usually 2-5 minutes per person if your documents are in order. During peak hours (afternoon arrivals), the queue can be longer — up to 20-30 minutes.
