Frequently asked questions
No. Grenada does not offer visa on arrival for Iraqi nationals. You must obtain a visa from a Grenadian embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, but it can vary. Apply at least 4–6 weeks before your planned departure to be safe.
Visa fees depend on the embassy or consulate where you apply. Expect to pay around $50–100 USD, plus any service fees. Check with the specific office for exact amounts.
You'll need a completed application form, your passport (valid 6+ months), two passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking or host invitation, proof of sufficient funds, and sometimes a cover letter explaining your travel purpose.
Extensions are not available for visa holders. You must leave before your visa expires. If you need more time, you'd have to apply for a new visa from outside Grenada.
If you are traveling from a country with yellow fever risk, you may need to show a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Check with the embassy or your doctor before you go.
You will be denied entry and sent back on the next available flight. There is no way to get a visa at the airport. Always have your visa approved before you fly.
