Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Grenada | Your Tanzanian passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Grenada does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date — just make sure it covers your stay. Airlines flying into Grenada may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before you fly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration officers at Maurice Bishop International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number covers this. I have been asked for it twice in the last year. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Immigration can request evidence of sufficient funds — roughly $100 USD per day is a safe benchmark. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a decent limit works. They rarely ask, but when they do, they expect a clear answer. | Recommended |
