Entry conditions

  • U.S. citizens may enter Grenada visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days per visit. On arrival, you will be processed at border control with your passport; ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay and has at least one blank page. You may be asked to show proof of onward travel and accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay. Working in Grenada on a visa-free entry is not allowed; if you plan to work, you must obtain a proper work permit before arrival. If you need to stay longer than 90 days, you can apply for an extension at the Grenada Immigration Department before your current stay expires; processing times and fees vary.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: N/A for visa-free entry.
  • VFS/BLS service fee: N/A.
  • Total cost estimate: There is no visa pre-payment; you should budget for accommodation, flights, travel insurance, and daily expenses.
  • Standard processing time: Not applicable for visa-free entry; border processing occurs on arrival and is generally immediate.
  • Express/priority option: Not applicable.

Tips for United States travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: No pre-travel visa application is required for visa-free entry; verify current entry rules on gov.gd shortly before travel as policies can change.
  • Common rejection reasons for United States applicants specifically: For visa-free entry, entry can be denied if passport validity is insufficient, lack of onward travel, or border authorities deem the purpose or duration of stay not compliant; always carry your supporting documents in case they are requested.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Visa-free entry does not involve VFS/BLS; if you need a visa for longer stays or other purposes, contact a Grenadian embassy/consulate or the Grenada Immigration Department.
  • Travel advisories or bilateral notes: Check the U.S. State Department travel advisory for Grenada and Grenada's gov.gd notifications for any changes in entry rules or health requirements.
  • Extension options inside Grenada: You may request an extension of stay from the Grenada Immigration Department before your visa-free period ends; approval and any fees vary by case.
