  • Completed immigration arrival/embarkation card, provided on the plane or at the airport
  • No visa photo or biometric requirement for standard entry
  • Travel health insurance recommended

Visa types

  • Tourist entry stamp: free on arrival; the immigration officer determines the length granted, up to a maximum commonly cited at around 180 days, though many visitors receive a shorter initial stamp (often 30 days) with the option to extend
  • Business visitors on short unpaid trips typically use the same entry category

Entry conditions

  • Initial stay length is set by the immigration officer; if a shorter period is given, extensions can be requested at the Immigration Department
  • No work authorized under tourist entry
  • Retain the departure portion of your arrival card for exit, if issued
  • Total stay should not exceed the maximum permitted without securing a different status

Fees & processing time

  • Entry stamp: free
  • Extension fee: a modest government charge, typically in the range of USD 50-75 depending on length requested
  • No advance processing for initial entry — handled immediately at the airport
  • Extensions are usually processed within a few business days at the Immigration Department in Kingstown

Tips for United States travelers

  • If you plan a long stay, ask the immigration officer directly for a longer initial stamp rather than assuming the maximum is automatic
  • Inter-island ferries between the Grenadines require your passport each time, so keep it accessible during multi-island itineraries
  • Hurricane season (June-November) can disrupt inter-island travel — build buffer days into your plans
  • Local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar; USD is widely accepted but change may come in EC dollars
