Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. No specific 6-month validity rule applies, but airlines may still enforce one — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they may also check that your onward flight is within the 90-day visa-free period. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Immigration may ask how you'll fund your stay. Have a recent bank statement or credit card available — no specific minimum amount is published, but showing access to a few hundred USD is enough. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you go.
No extension available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Overstaying can result in fines or being barred from re-entry. Plan your departure carefully.
