German passport holders can visit Grenada without a visa for up to 90 days. This policy remains unchanged in 2026. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Grenada | Your passport needs at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport check this strictly — I've seen people turned away for less than 6 months validity. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration will ask for your return or onward ticket at the border. Airlines also check this before boarding — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel reservation or host's address ready. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you're arriving without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry at least $100 USD per day or have a credit card showing available balance. Immigration rarely checks this for German passport holders, but it's good to have a bank statement or cash handy. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Grenada, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
No visa needed for stays up to 90 days
German passport holders can enter Grenada visa-free for tourism or business. No application, no fee, no embassy visit. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
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 with two or three queues. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your passport and supporting documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Answer clearly and briefly. They'll stamp you in for up to 90 days.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually a quick walk-through. If you have nothing to declare, you'll be out in minutes.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before day 90. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban. If you need to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a visa or residence permit before your 90 days are up.
No, there is no arrival declaration required for German passport holders. You just show up with your passport and documents.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Grenadian immigration. Get a new passport before you travel. A damaged passport (torn pages, water damage) is also a problem — replace it.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. Any work or study requires a proper visa or work permit. You cannot volunteer in exchange for accommodation either — that's considered work.
The Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD) is the local currency. US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available at the airport and in St. George's. Bring some cash for taxis and small shops — cards aren't accepted everywhere.
The departure tax is usually included in your airline ticket. If not, it's about 50 XCD (around 18 USD) payable in cash at the airport. Check with your airline before you fly.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, detained, and banned from re-entering Grenada for a period. If you realize you'll overstay, contact the Grenada Immigration Department in St. George's before your visa-free period ends.
