Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Airlines check this at check-in, and immigration officers will deny boarding if your passport expires before you leave. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines | 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 the country ready — they will not let you through without one. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear plan. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement, credit card, or cash handy to demonstrate you have enough money for your trip. There is no fixed minimum amount, but officers expect to see at least a few hundred US dollars or equivalent. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines enforce this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding.
Stays cannot be extended
The 90-day visa-free period is fixed. If you overstay, you may face fines or a ban. Plan your departure date carefully.
