Icelandic passport holders can visit Grenada without a visa for up to 90 days. This policy started in 2024. Just bring your passport and a return ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Grenada. Iceland passports are visa-free for up to 90 days, so your passport just needs to cover those dates. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Without it, you may be refused entry and put on the next flight out. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from a host ready. A simple booking printout or phone screenshot works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Immigration can ask for evidence you have enough money for your trip. Carry a bank statement, credit card, or cash — around $100–$150 USD per day is a safe benchmark. I've seen officers wave people through without checking, but better to have it ready. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need to apply for anything before you go. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket. Immigration is straightforward at Maurice Bishop Airport.
Overstaying is costly
The 90-day stay is not extendable. Overstay and you risk a fine of up to $500 and a possible ban from re-entering. Set a reminder to leave on time.
