Passport validity is strictly enforced

Even though you don't need a visa, immigration will check your return ticket and accommodation. Have them ready on your phone or printed. A missing return ticket is the most common reason for denial at the border.
What happens at the border

Hand over your passport, return ticket (printed or on phone), and accommodation confirmation. The officer may ask your purpose of visit and how long you're staying. Answer clearly.

The officer will stamp your passport with the entry date and allowed stay (usually 90 days). Check the stamp before leaving the counter. You're free to enter.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or being barred from re-entry.
If you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (most of sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South America), you'll need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Tunisia is not a risk country, so if you fly directly or via Europe, you won't need it. Check your transit points.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month rule is strictly enforced.
No, you must have a return or onward ticket. Immigration wants proof you'll leave. A one-way ticket may result in denial of entry.
The departure tax is usually included in your airline ticket. If not, it's around EC$50 (about US$18.50) payable in cash (Eastern Caribbean dollars or US dollars). Check with your airline before flying.
The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD). US dollars are widely accepted, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available at the airport and in Kingstown. Credit cards are accepted at hotels and larger restaurants.
No, visa-free entry is for tourism only. For work, study, or long-term stays, you need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit from a Vincentian embassy or consulate before traveling.
