For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

The official April 2024 matrix gives a nationality-by-nationality outcome: no visa required, visa required prior to arrival, or visa granted at the port of entry. A traveller must use the row for their citizenship; there is no universal outcome for all travellers.

  • Visa matrix definitions, pages 7-8
    *Prior To Arrival - Visa must be obtained at one of Grenada’s Missions or Consulates prior to travel 7 UPDATED APRIL 2024 *No Visa Required - Visa not required for entry *Port of Entry - Visa granted on arrival in Grenada

What short-visit purposes does this route cover?

The matrix covers entry as a visitor or tourist. A person who remains beyond the stated visitor period, or travels for another purpose such as work, study or permanent residence, must obtain the appropriate visa or permission.

See recorded sources
  • Visa matrix notes, page 7
    Persons granted entry into Grenada for periods of (14 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and 6 months) as visitors (tourists) are required to obtain a visa when remaining beyond the periods indicated and also when visiting for other purposes e.g. work, study or to reside permanently. Same applies to dependents.

What maximum stay, rolling-period rule, validity and entry rules apply?

The matrix uses visitor periods of 14, 30, 60 or 90 days, or six months, where a period is stated for a nationality. The permitted period therefore depends on the traveller’s nationality and the entry granted; the matrix does not state a universal rolling-period rule.

Limits of the record
  • No universal rolling-period or multiple-entry validity rule is stated; some nationality rows do not print a duration.
  • Visa matrix notes, page 7
    Persons granted entry into Grenada for periods of (14 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and 6 months) as visitors (tourists) are required to obtain a visa when remaining beyond the periods indicated and also when visiting for other purposes e.g. work, study or to reside permanently. Same applies to dependents.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

The Embassy of Grenada currently distinguishes prior-to-arrival visa applications from port-of-entry visa applications. Its linked March 2018 port-of-entry pre-clearance instructions, for nationals who receive visas at the port of entry, require a passport valid at least six months from departure from Grenada and confirmation of accommodation when applying for the pre-clearance letter; U.S. permanent residents who need a visa must also show permission to re-enter the United States. If the letter is issued, the 2018 instructions give visa fees payable on arrival. These are dated pre-clearance and port-of-entry visa requirements for that applicant class, not a universal current border checklist for all visitors. The reviewed official sources do not establish a general rule here for funds, invitation, insurance or onward travel.

Limits of the record
  • The 2018 pre-clearance PDF is linked by the Embassy visitor page but its substantive terms were not independently reconfirmed by a newer port-of-entry instrument. The evidence is class-specific; general visitor border requirements for funds, invitation, insurance and onward travel remain unestablished.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

A prior-to-arrival visa is obtained through a Grenadian mission or consulate. Travellers in the port-of-entry category may request a pre-clearance letter under the 2018 guidance to facilitate travel, while the April 2024 matrix says the visa is granted on arrival. The matrix says a visa is required to remain beyond the visitor period, but the supplied sources do not set out the in-country extension or status-change procedure.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The in-country extension or change-of-status procedure is not stated in the supplied official sources.
  • The 2018 guidance offers a pre-clearance letter to facilitate travel but does not state that it is mandatory for every port-of-entry traveller.
