Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay in Grenada | Your Austrian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Grenada. Grenada does not enforce a 6-month validity rule beyond your stay, but airlines may check for at least 3 months validity from your departure date. | 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 outbound flight or ferry booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Grenada. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your expenses. Grenada does not publish a minimum amount, but around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity before you board. If you have less than 6 months remaining, you may be denied boarding even if Grenada would let you in. Check your passport now.
No visa, no application needed
Austrian passport holders don't need to apply for anything in advance. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket. No forms, no fees, no embassy visits.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
You'll land at the main airport in St. George's. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single hall, usually quick.
2
Queue at immigration counter
Join the line for 'Foreign Passports' (not CARICOM). Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will ask your purpose of visit and where you're staying.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with a 90-day entry. Check the stamp says '90 days' before you walk away. If it's less, ask politely for the full allowance.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel, then walk through customs (usually green channel if nothing to declare). You're in.
