Entry requirements

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |

No visa needed, but don't skip the basics
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still deny entry if your documents aren't in order. Make sure your passport is valid for 6+ months from your arrival date, and have a return ticket ready. These are the most common reasons for refusal.
Overstaying is not an option
The 90-day visa-free period is strict and not extendable. Overstaying can lead to fines, detention, and a ban from re-entering Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Argyle International Airport (SVD)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration'. Join the queue for non-citizens. Have your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation ready. The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. The process usually takes 5-15 minutes.
2
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to baggage claim, then customs. Declare any items over the duty-free allowance (e.g., alcohol, tobacco, gifts over $100). If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.
3
Exit the airport
Once through customs, you're free to leave. Taxis and rental car counters are available outside the terminal. Keep your passport and entry stamp accessible for hotel check-in.
