\n\nThis information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of Grenada’s current rules for the most common types of travel.
\n\nThe authorities in Grenada set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Grenadian High Commission in the UK.
\n\nTo visit Grenada, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date you arrive.
\n\nCheck with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
\n\nYou will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
\n\nMake sure you get your passport stamped.
\nMake sure the border control officer puts a stamp in your passport. If you do not get a stamp in your passport, you’ll be considered an illegal visitor.
\n\nWhen returning to the UK, British citizens must carry a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement. See Dual citizenship.
\n\nYou can visit Grenada without a visa.
\n\nOn entry, you’ll be allowed to stay for a maximum period of 3 months.
\n\nTo stay longer (to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons), you must meet the Grenada Immigration Department’s entry requirements.
\n\nIt’s illegal to overstay the entry period or to work without a work permit.
\n\nTo enter Grenada, you must have a certificate to prove you’ve had a yellow fever vaccination if you’re coming from a country listed as a transmission risk.

\n\nDo not stop if you’re flagged down by pedestrians. Keep car doors locked when driving. If you have an accident, call the police and do not move the vehicle.
\n\nTaxis are not metered. There are standard taxi fares for most destinations. To avoid being overcharged, agree the fare in local currency with the driver before you set off. You can often pay in US dollars as well as East Caribbean dollars.
\n\nIf you use private taxis, you can ask the driver to observe speed limits, but minibus drivers often exceed them.
