Ugandan passport holders can visit Grenada for tourism or business stays up to 90 days without a visa. This policy is in effect for 2026 and beyond. Make sure your passport meets entry rules and you carry the required documents.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Grenada. No 6-month validity rule applies here — just cover your stay. Airlines at Entebbe may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Grenada | Immigration at Maurice Bishop International Airport asks for a return or onward ticket. Budget airlines like interCaribbean Airways check this before boarding. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers occasionally ask where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address works. No need for a full itinerary — just the first night's booking is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Grenada doesn't publish a minimum amount, but carrying around $50–100 USD per day in cash or card statements shows you're not working illegally. ATMs at the airport dispense Eastern Caribbean dollars. | Recommended |
Yellow fever certificate required
If you are arriving from Uganda (or any country with yellow fever risk), you must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Without it, you may be quarantined or denied entry. Get vaccinated at least 10 days before travel.
No visa needed, but be prepared
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration officers can still refuse entry if you lack a return ticket, proof of accommodation, or sufficient funds. Have everything ready to avoid delays.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND)
After landing, follow signs to the immigration hall. Join the queue for 'Foreign Passports' or 'All Passports' — there is no separate line for visa-free travelers.
2
Present your documents to the immigration officer
Hand over your passport, completed arrival card (usually given on the plane), and your return ticket if asked. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.
3
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After clearing immigration, head to the baggage claim area, then walk through customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.
