Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Swiss passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Grenada. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready — they will check the date matches your visa-free stay limit. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Grenada. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the immigration counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least $100 USD per day of your stay — either in cash, a credit card, or a bank statement. Immigration may ask to see it if you look underfunded or have no return ticket. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the basics
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration can still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Have them ready on your phone or printed.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines often check this before boarding. If your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival date, you may be denied boarding. Double-check before you go.
