Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Norwegian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by law, but airlines may check for at least 6 months — confirm with your carrier before flying. | 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 out of the country ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| 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 |
No visa needed, but be prepared
You don't need a visa, but immigration can still refuse entry if you can't show a return ticket or your passport is too close to expiry. Have everything ready.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport has less than 6 months validity from your arrival date, you won't be allowed to fly.
What happens at the border

Most visitors fly into the new Argyle International Airport near Kingstown. After landing, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and join the queue for non-citizens.

Hand over your passport and completed landing card (usually given on the plane). The officer will check your passport validity, blank page, and may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. Answer clearly and calmly.

If everything is in order, the officer stamps your passport with a date. You're allowed to stay up to 90 days. Count from that stamp date.
