Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival option for Nigerian passport holders. You must obtain a visa from a Grenada embassy or consulate before you travel.
Processing times vary by embassy, but typically take 2 to 4 weeks. Apply at least a month before your planned departure to be safe.
You'll generally need a completed application form, a passport valid for at least 6 months from your entry date, passport-sized photos, proof of accommodation, a return flight booking, and proof of sufficient funds. Check with the specific embassy for their exact requirements.
Visa fees vary by embassy and visa type. Contact the Grenada embassy or consulate where you apply for the current fee. Expect to pay in the local currency or as specified.
Grenada requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Nigeria is on that list, so you will likely need to show proof of vaccination. Check with the embassy or your doctor before travel.
Extensions are not generally available for standard tourist visas. You must leave before your visa expires. If you need a longer stay, apply for a different visa type before you travel.
Overstaying can result in fines, detention, and a ban on future entry. Always leave before your visa expires.
