Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Grenada immigration enforces the 6-month passport validity rule strictly. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Carry a copy of your passport photo page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. A flight booking to a third country works too. Budget airlines like interCaribbean Airways check this before issuing a boarding pass. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed or digital hotel confirmation ready. If staying with friends or family, carry an invitation letter with their address and phone number. Grenada immigration occasionally asks for this during peak season. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry at least $100 USD per day in cash or have a credit card statement showing available credit. Grenada is not strict about this, but officers may ask if you arrive without a return ticket or accommodation booking. | Recommended |
