Grenada tourist visa: who needs one and how to apply

The April 2024 list shows No Visa Required for all EU states, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, India, Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, Georgia, Israel, the UAE, Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico, Brazil and Peru, the CARICOM states and most of the Caribbean. Some entries carry a limit: Argentina 30 days as a visitor, China 30 days, Cuba 60 days.

Prior to Arrival nationalities include Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Bahrain, Colombia, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. Holders of UN laissez-passers and staff of listed international organisations are exempt for official stays of up to 90 days.

Both missions ask for a fully completed visa application form filled in blue or black ink, the passport itself, valid for at least six months from the date of departure from Grenada, and two passport photos. London accepts photos up to six months old; Washington wants them no more than three months old with one certified by a Justice of the Peace or notary.

Residents of the mission's host country who are not its citizens add their residence card: London asks UK permanent residents to bring it, and Washington asks US permanent residents for proof of permission to re-enter the United States. Proof of payment completes the file.

Under the London fee table in force since 1 July 2024, a single-entry visa costs GBP 200 and a multiple-entry visa GBP 375 per applicant, each plus a GBP 30 processing fee. Since 3 March 2025 the High Commission accepts only cashless payment: card (with a GBP 2 transaction fee), online bank transfer, bank deposit or the government payment site pay.gov.gd.

The Washington embassy's sheet gives USD 200 single entry and USD 375 multiple entry, payable by certified cheque, money order, online through pay.gov.gd or in cash in person, with USD 20 or USD 60 extra for return of the passport by express post.

Submit the file to a Grenada mission at least six weeks before departure; processing takes about ten business days. In London the passport can be returned by Royal Mail Special Delivery if you enclose a prepaid envelope; applicants living outside the UK arrange a courier collection. The visa only lets you travel to the port of entry before it expires, where you must still satisfy Grenada's immigration officers.

Visitors admitted for 14, 30, 60 or 90 days or six months must obtain a visa in Grenada if they want to remain beyond that period, and also if they want to work, study or reside permanently. The same applies to dependants.
