Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
You may be asked where you're staying during the immigration interview. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number covers this.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself during the stay
Immigration can request evidence of sufficient funds — around $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. A recent bank statement or credit card with a decent limit works.Recommended
