Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the length of your stay in Grenada. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | 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 will check the date matches your intended stay. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a copy of your hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host in Grenada. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the desk. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have access to at least $100 USD per day of your stay — a bank statement or credit card works. Officers almost never ask for it for short visits, but it's a formal requirement in the immigration regulations. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but don't skip the basics
Grenada is visa-free for Indians, but airlines still check passport validity and onward tickets. If you don't have both, you may be denied boarding in India. Double-check before you head to the airport.
Overstaying is costly
The 90-day visa-free period is strict. Overstaying even a few days can result in fines (around 500 XCD or more) and a note on your record. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration'. There's a single queue for all non-citizens. The wait is usually 15–30 minutes.
2
Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport, completed landing card (given on the plane), and be ready to show your return ticket and accommodation booking if asked. The officer will ask your purpose of visit and length of stay.
3
Get your passport stamped
The officer will stamp your passport with a visitor entry permit valid for up to 90 days. Check the stamp before walking away — make sure the date is correct.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'll need to apply for a visa or residence permit from the Grenada Immigration Department in St. George's before your 90 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
If you're transiting and not leaving the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport or stay overnight, you'll need to meet the same visa-free entry requirements (valid passport, onward ticket).
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Grenadian immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. There are no exceptions for short trips.
It's not a formal requirement, but immigration officers may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. Having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash (USD or XCD) is a good idea.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism and business visits only. Any paid work, volunteering, or study requires the appropriate visa or work permit. Apply through the Grenada Ministry of Labour or the nearest Grenadian embassy.
