Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay
Your Kenyan passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your departure date from Grenada. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, 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 showing you leave within 90 days. Airlines also verify this before issuing a boarding pass — have a printed or digital copy ready.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or invitation letter
Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host in Grenada. Immigration may ask where you are staying — having a printed confirmation avoids delays.Recommended
Proof of funds
Evidence of sufficient money for your stay
Have bank statements, a credit card, or cash showing you can cover your expenses. There is no fixed minimum, but around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark if asked.Recommended
Travel insurance is not mandatory, but smart
Grenada's healthcare system is limited. A hospital stay for something like a broken leg can cost $500–$1,000 per day. Travel insurance covers that and gives you peace of mind.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport has less than 6 months validity, you may be denied boarding even if you have a visa-free entry. Check your passport's expiry date now.

Frequently asked questions

No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave Grenada before the 90 days are up. If you need to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a visa or residence permit before your current stay expires.
If you're just transiting and don't leave the airport, you generally don't need a visa. But check with your airline — some require a transit visa for certain nationalities. For stays over 24 hours or leaving the airport, you need the visa-free entry.
You'll 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.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits. Any paid work requires a work permit. If you plan to work remotely for a foreign employer, it's a grey area — check with the Grenadian immigration office before you go.
At minimum: your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking. Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Keep digital copies on your phone in case you lose the originals.
No, there is no arrival declaration required for Kenyan passport holders. You just go through immigration with your passport and documents.
Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, or a ban from re-entering Grenada. The exact penalty depends on how long you overstay. Always leave before your 90 days are up.
