Passport validity is strictly enforced
Grenada requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you may face fines, detention, and a ban from re-entering Grenada. Plan your departure date carefully.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a single hall. Join the queue for 'Foreign Passports' (not CARICOM). Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking ready in hand.
2
Present documents to immigration officer
Hand over your passport and any requested documents. The officer will ask a few quick questions: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying. Answer clearly and briefly. They'll stamp your passport with the entry date and allowed stay duration.
3
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel. Customs is straightforward — declare any items over the duty-free allowance (e.g., 1 litre of alcohol, 200 cigarettes). Green channel if you have nothing to declare.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave Grenada (e.g., to a nearby island like Barbados or St. Vincent) and re-enter, but immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits. For long-term stays, apply for a visa or residence permit before travelling.
If you're connecting through Maurice Bishop International Airport and don't leave the transit area, you generally don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport or stay overnight, the standard visa-free rules apply (up to 90 days). Check with your airline for specific transit requirements.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry by Grenadian immigration. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before you travel.
No. There is no arrival declaration or online pre-registration required for Russian passport holders. You simply fill out a standard landing card on the plane or at immigration.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short visits only. Any paid work, volunteering, or formal study requires a proper work permit or student visa. If you're caught working without authorisation, you risk deportation and a ban.
The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD), but US dollars are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and shops. You'll get change in XCD. ATMs dispense XCD. Credit cards are accepted in most tourist areas, but carry some cash for smaller vendors and taxis.
No mandatory vaccinations for Russian passport holders arriving directly from Russia. However, if you've recently travelled to a country with yellow fever, you may need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Routine vaccines (hepatitis A, typhoid) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4–6 weeks before travel.
