Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your South Korean passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Grenada. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Grenadian law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready — they will check the date matches your intended 90-day stay. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Grenada. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or card | Have access to at least 200 USD per day of your stay — either in cash, traveler's checks, or a credit card. Immigration may ask to see bank statements or cash on arrival. | Recommended |
Visa-free ≠ guaranteed entry
Even with visa-free access, the immigration officer has final say. Have your return ticket and accommodation ready. If you look like you might overstay or work illegally, you can be refused entry.
Passport validity counts from entry, not departure
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Grenada, not the day you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it before you travel. Airlines check this too.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
After landing in St. George's, follow signs to 'Immigration'. There's usually one queue for all non-citizens. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport and return ticket. The officer may ask your purpose of visit (tourism is fine) and how long you're staying. Answer clearly.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day entry. Check the stamp before walking away — make sure the date is correct. Keep the stamp visible if you're transiting.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually quick — just walk through the green channel if you have nothing to declare.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban. If you need to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a visa or residency before your 90 days expire.
No, South Korean passport holders do not need a visa for transit. You can stay airside for up to 24 hours without entering Grenada. Just show your onward boarding pass and passport at transit security.
You'll likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry by Grenadian immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. Some airlines are stricter than others, but it's not worth the risk.
No, Grenada does not require proof of funds for South Korean visitors. But if you're staying a long time or look like you might work illegally, an officer could ask. Having a credit card or cash (around $50–100 per day) is smart.
No, visa-free entry is for tourism only. Working or studying requires a proper visa or work permit. If you're caught, you'll be deported and banned. Apply for the correct visa before you go.
The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available at the airport and in St. George's. Bring some cash for taxis and small shops — cards aren't accepted everywhere.
No mandatory vaccines for South Korean travelers. But check routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus) are up to date. Yellow fever vaccine is required only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever. No COVID-19 restrictions as of 2026.
