No visa needed — but don't skip the basics
You don't need a visa, but immigration still checks your passport validity, return ticket, and sometimes accommodation. Have these ready to avoid delays.
Overstaying is not an option
The 90-day stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you risk fines and future entry bans. Plan your exit date carefully.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
If you're staying airside and not passing through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you need to enter the country (e.g., overnight layover), the same visa-free rules apply.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Bulgaria is not a risk country, so you won't need it unless you've recently been to an endemic area.
The visa-free entry is for tourism only. Remote work is technically not allowed, but short-term digital nomad activity is generally tolerated. For longer stays, check with the Vincentian embassy.
The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available in Kingstown. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels and larger restaurants.
No, there is no online arrival declaration. You'll fill out a paper immigration card on the plane or at the airport — standard stuff: name, passport number, flight, address in country.
