Visas in St. George's

Extensions

Stays can be extended beyond the initial 90 days by applying in person at the Immigration Division/Immigration Authorities Office in St. George's before the current permission expires; extensions are granted at the discretion of immigration authorities, not automatic.

Baseline Rule

Citizens of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the EU/Schengen states, and well over 100 other countries and territories do not need a visa to enter Grenada for tourism, business, or short visits.

Standard Duration

90 days within any 180-day period per visit for exempt nationalities, entered at the discretion of the immigration officer on arrival.

Who Still Needs A Visa

Citizens of a number of countries (mostly outside North America/Europe/CARICOM) still require a visa obtained in advance from a Grenadian diplomatic mission, or in some cases a pre-clearance letter used to get a visa issued on arrival. Travelers should check their specific nationality against the official 'Who Needs a Visa' list rather than assume exemption.

Regional Note

CARICOM/OECS nationals benefit from separate free-movement arrangements under the OECS Economic Union and can typically enter with just a national ID and later apply for a Resident Stamp, distinct from the general tourist visa-waiver regime.

Local Income Tax Rates If Grenada Sourced

Progressive personal income tax on Grenada-sourced income, with rates cited variously as 10%/28% or 10%/30% depending on the source and income band, plus a tax-free personal allowance around EC$36,000 (~$13,300 USD).

Other Taxes

No capital gains tax, no inheritance/estate tax, no net wealth tax. Standard VAT is 15%. Property tax and transfer taxes apply separately to real estate.

System Type

Territorial taxation — Grenada only taxes income sourced within Grenada; foreign-sourced income is not taxed regardless of residency status.

Tax Residency Trigger

An individual becomes a Grenada tax resident by spending 183 days or more in Grenada in a calendar year; alternative tests also exist — an aggregate of 122 days or more per year averaged over three consecutive years, or an average of at least 91 days per year over a four-year period.

Digital Nomad Tax Treatment

Because Remote Employment Act visa holders must prove their income comes from outside Grenada, they are exempt from Grenadian income tax on that income.

Documents Required

• Completed Remote Employment Act / digital nomad visa application form
• Valid passport with at least six months' validity remaining beyond the visa period
• Two recent passport-sized photos (one notarized, per some sources)
• Proof of annual income of at least $37,000 USD / 100,000 XCD (bank statements, pay slips, or client contracts)
• Proof of remote employment or business registration outside Grenada (employer letter or company certificate)
• Valid international health insurance covering the stay in Grenada
• Clean criminal record certificate
• Proof of accommodation in Grenada (rental agreement or hotel booking)
• Documents translated into English where necessary

Minimum Annual Income

EC$100,000

Notes

Income must be earned from outside Grenada (foreign employer, own foreign-registered business, or freelance clients based abroad); local employment is not permitted under this visa.
