8 itemsIdentity
Colour copy of your passport data page
Required specifically for the Port of Entry / Pre-Clearance route.
Completed visa application form

US Permanent Resident re-entry proof, if applicable
US Permanent Residents who need a visa for Grenada must also show proof of permission to re-enter the US, bring your Residency Card, or a notarized photocopy of both sides if mailing your application.
Valid passport
RequiredValid for at least 6 months from your date of departure from Grenada.
Visa application, at a Grenada Mission or on arrival
RequiredCheck the current country list to see which route applies to your nationality: most non-exempt nationalities apply for a visa at a Grenada Mission or Consulate before travelling; a smaller list (mostly former-Soviet and Balkan states) instead applies to the Embassy for a Pre-Clearance Letter first, then pays the actual visa fee on arrival once that letter is issued, this is still an advance step, not a simple walk-up. Applications should be made at least 6 weeks before departure; processing takes about 10 business days.
Financial
Visa fee
RequiredPrior to Arrival: US$200 for a single-entry visa, US$375 for multiple-entry, paid to the Embassy by certified check, money order, cash in person, or online at pay.gov.gd. Port of Entry: US$10 to the Embassy for the Pre-Clearance Letter, then EC$200 (single-entry) or EC$375 (multiple-entry) paid on arrival in Grenada.
Accommodation

Why applications on this route get refused
Submitted a photocopy instead of an original or certified document
The application form must be fully completed and photos must be current (under 3 months) with the required certification, incomplete or uncertified submissions aren't accepted.
How to avoid it: Have your Justice of the Peace or Notary Public certify the required photo (Prior to Arrival route) before submitting, and don't substitute photocopies where an original or notarized copy is asked for.
Paid with an unaccepted payment method
The Embassy only accepts certified checks, money orders, in-person cash, or online payment through pay.gov.gd, personal checks or other methods aren't listed as accepted.
How to avoid it: Use one of the Embassy's stated payment methods, and add the extra money order for return postage if you need your passport mailed back.
