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 flight booking ready. If you're island-hopping, a ferry or flight ticket to another Caribbean country works too.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or invitation letter
Carry a copy of your hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the immigration desk.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself during your stay
Have access to enough cash or a credit card to cover your expenses. There's no fixed minimum, but around $50–$100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. Immigration may ask if you're staying longer than a week.Recommended
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. If it's even one day short, you will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at immigration. Check your passport now.
