Dutch passport holders can visit Grenada without a visa for up to 90 days. This policy applies in 2026 for tourism, business, or short family visits. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid only for the time you're in Grenada — no 6-month rule. Airlines sometimes ask for 6 months validity, so check with your carrier before flying. | 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. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Not always requested, but having a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host speeds things up. If you're staying with friends, get their address and phone number written down. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers rarely ask, but they can. Have a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough for your stay — around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival, not departure
Grenada requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter the country. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away — even if your return flight is before the expiry date.
No visa, no fee, no forms
Dutch passport holders get 90 days visa-free with zero paperwork. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket. No application, no cost, no hassle.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
You'll land at the main airport in St. George's. Follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single hall, usually quick. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Queue at immigration counter
Join the line for 'Foreign Passports' (not CARICOM). The officer will ask your purpose of visit and length of stay. Answer clearly — tourism, business, or visiting family.
3
Present documents
Hand over your passport and return/onward ticket (screenshot or printed). They may ask for accommodation proof — have it ready. No visa fee, no forms to fill.
4
Receive entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay (usually 90 days). Check the stamp before walking away. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it at departure.
5
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim. Then proceed through customs (usually a green channel for most tourists). Welcome to Grenada.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visa or residence permit before your 90 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines or deportation.
You'll likely be denied entry. Grenada requires at least 6 months of passport validity from your arrival date. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, the same visa-free rules apply for cruise passengers and airside transit. You can stay up to 90 days without a visa, but if you're just transiting, you don't need to go through immigration.
No, Grenada does not require an arrival declaration or online pre-registration. You just show up with your passport and ticket.
The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and shops. Euros are not commonly used — exchange them at the airport or a bank.
No mandatory vaccinations for Dutch travelers. But it's a good idea to be up to date on routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus, etc.). Yellow fever vaccine is required only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever transmission.
