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. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| 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 showing you leave within 90 days. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and contact number. Immigration may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have access to at least $500 USD or equivalent in cash, credit card, or bank statement. Officers rarely ask, but if you cannot show funds, they can deny entry. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the basics
You can enter without a visa, but immigration still expects to see a valid passport, return ticket, and sometimes proof of accommodation. Have these ready in your hand luggage, not buried in your checked bag.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check passport validity before you board. If your passport has less than 6 months of validity left, you will likely be denied boarding — even if you have a visa. Check your passport's expiry date now, not at the airport.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Argyle International Airport (SVD)
You'll land at the main international airport near Kingstown. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single queue for all non-citizens.
2
Present your documents at the immigration counter
Hand over your passport and any supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation booking). The officer will ask your purpose of visit and length of stay. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the number of days granted (usually 90 days). Check the stamp before walking away — if it's wrong, ask for a correction immediately.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, go to baggage claim, then walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. Keep your passport and boarding pass handy.

Frequently asked questions
You can stay up to 90 days visa-free. If you want to stay longer, you'll need to apply for an extension at the Immigration Department in Kingstown before your 90 days expire. Extensions are not guaranteed and cost around 200 XCD (approx. 75 USD).
No. Immigration requires at least 6 months of passport validity from your date of entry. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, you do not need a visa for transit. You can stay in the airport's transit area without a visa. If you need to leave the airport or stay overnight, you'll need to go through immigration under the standard visa-free rules (90-day stay).
Overstaying is a violation of immigration law. You may be fined, detained, or banned from re-entering. The fine is typically 200 XCD per day overstayed, but can be higher. Always apply for an extension before your 90 days are up if you need more time.
No, there is no official requirement to show proof of funds for Mozambican passport holders. However, if an immigration officer suspects you cannot support yourself during your stay, they may ask. It's wise to carry a credit card or some cash (Eastern Caribbean dollars) just in case.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. If you plan to work, study, or volunteer, you must apply for the appropriate visa or work permit before you travel. Contact the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines embassy or consulate for details.
The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available in Kingstown and larger towns, but may be less reliable on smaller islands. Bring some cash (USD or XCD) for taxis, small shops, and markets.
