Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Portuguese passport needs to be valid only for the time you plan to stay in Grenada — no 6-month rule applies. Airlines at Lisbon and other EU hubs may still check for 6 months validity, so verify with your carrier before departure. | 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 of your outbound booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Grenada. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least $100 USD per day of your stay, either in cash, credit card, or bank statement. Immigration may ask to see this if you look underfunded or have no return ticket. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the basics
You don't need a visa, but immigration still checks passport validity, return tickets, and accommodation. Have these ready to avoid delays.
90-day stay is not extendable
You cannot extend your visa-free stay. Overstaying can lead to fines or a ban. Plan your trip to leave before day 90.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a visa or leave and re-enter — but re-entry isn't guaranteed. Best to plan around the 90-day limit.
No, if you're transiting through Grenada and staying airside (not passing immigration), you don't need a visa. But if you leave the airport, you'll need to meet the same visa-free requirements.
You'll be denied entry. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6 months are counted from your entry date, not your departure.
Not officially required, but it's smart to have a credit card or some cash (Eastern Caribbean dollars or US dollars) available. Immigration may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay.
The visa-free entry is for tourism only. If you plan to work remotely, you're technically not supposed to — but short-term digital nomad work is generally tolerated. For longer stays, check Grenada's Digital Nomad Visa.
No mandatory vaccinations for Portuguese travelers. But routine vaccines (MMR, tetanus, etc.) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4-6 weeks before travel.
The Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD) is the local currency. US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available at the airport and in St. George's. Bring some cash for taxis and small shops.
