Processing usually takes 2–4 weeks, but it can vary. Apply at least a month before your planned travel date.
You apply at the Grenadian embassy or consulate responsible for your country. If there is no Grenadian mission in Egypt, you may need to apply through the nearest embassy in another country (e.g., the UK or UAE). Check the official government website for the latest list.
Typically: a completed application form, your passport (valid 6+ months), passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, proof of funds, and travel insurance. The embassy may request additional documents.
Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type. Expect to pay around $50–100 USD, but confirm with the specific embassy you apply through.
Standard tourist visas are not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a different visa type before you travel.
