Arrival cardSince 1 March 2026, all travellers entering or leaving Grenada must complete an electronic arrival card called the ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation Card). This fully free digital form definitively replaces the old paper form previously distributed on planes. It applies to all nationalities without exception — tourists, business travellers, cruise passengers, Grenadian residents — and must be completed before each entry and each exit from the territory. Good news: Grenada requires no visa for the vast majority of nationalities, and the ED Card procedure takes just a few minutes from any connected device.
01 · The essentials
The procedure is carried out entirely on the internet, with no documents to send by post and no visit to an embassy or consulate.
The ED Card carries no consular fees for any nationality without exception.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned return date to be authorised to enter Grenada.
The ED Card (Embarkation/Disembarkation Card) is the electronic arrival card introduced by the Grenadian authorities as of 1 March 2026. It definitively replaces the old paper form that was distributed on board aircraft or handed out at the airport — a process considered inefficient and a source of delays at immigration checks.
Everything now takes place entirely online, with no documents to send by post and no visit to an embassy or consulate. The form can be completed as early as 72 hours before your planned arrival. The authorities recommend completing it the day before departure or before boarding at your port of origin. Once validated, an immigration and customs receipt is generated: keep it on your phone or print it, as it will be presented upon your arrival.
The ED Card is completely free in consular fees and applies to all nationalities without exception. It does not replace a visa if your nationality requires one, but constitutes an additional mandatory formality for all travellers.
02 · Eligibility
Grenada's electronic arrival card applies to absolutely all travellers entering or leaving the territory, regardless of nationality, purpose of travel or mode of transport. There are no exceptions to this rule since 1 March 2026.
Grenada does not require a visa for tourist stays for the vast majority of nationalities. However, the ED Card is a separate formality that is independent of the visa question: even if you do not need a visa, you must complete the ED Card. And if your nationality requires a visa, the ED Card comes on top of it as an additional formality.
All nationalities, whether travelling as a family, couple or solo to discover Grenadian beaches, nature and culture. The ED Card is mandatory from the moment of entry into the territory.
Professionals travelling to Grenada for meetings, conferences or investment purposes must also complete the electronic arrival card before departure.
Even passengers making a stopover at St. George's or other Grenadian ports for just a few hours are affected. The form must be completed before disembarkation.
Grenadian nationals returning home after a stay abroad must also complete the ED Card. The form includes a dedicated option for this profile.
Regarding visa exemptions, most Western nationalities benefit from a visa-free entry regime for tourist stays. Nationals of European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal and all EU member states) do not need a visa. The same applies to the Americas (United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and CARICOM member countries), the Asia-Pacific (Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh) and other countries such as Israel, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa.
Nationals of CARICOM member countries benefit from a special regime allowing them to stay for up to 180 days, and nationals of the OECS (Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States) may stay indefinitely. For other visa-exempt nationalities, the authorised length of stay is generally 90 days for a tourist trip.
03 · The procedure
The ED Card completion procedure is simple and intuitive. The official portal edcard.gov.gd, accessible from a computer, tablet or smartphone, guides you step by step. The form can be accessed up to 72 hours before your planned arrival. Once submitted, you receive a digital receipt to save or print: this is the document that will be checked by immigration officers upon your arrival.
Each traveller must have their own ED Card, including children and babies. An adult may, however, fill in the form on behalf of family members or group members, provided they have each person's passport details.
Go to edcard.gov.gd from a computer, tablet or smartphone. The form is accessible up to 72 hours before your planned arrival in Grenada.
The first page asks you to specify whether you are a visitor/non-resident or a returning Grenadian resident/national. This choice determines the subsequent fields in the form.
Last name, first name, date of birth, nationality, passport number, country of residence, full address, email address and phone number. Check each field carefully to avoid any rejection or delay at immigration.
Flight or vessel number, port of embarkation, planned arrival date, purpose of travel (tourism, business, transit, family visit, etc.) and planned length of stay in Grenada.
Name and address of your hotel, rental, residence or host in Grenada. For cruise passengers, enter the name of the vessel and the port of call.
The form includes a customs section where you must declare items you are importing into Grenada: currencies above a certain amount, food products, plants, animals and any item subject to declaration.
Tick the consent box authorising the processing of your personal data, then validate the form. You will receive a digital receipt to save on your phone or print.
04 · Required documents
Although Grenada does not require a visa for the majority of nationalities, several essential documents must be gathered before departure. Here is the complete list of what you will need to be able to present at Grenadian immigration.
05 · Entry points
Grenada has several entry points for international travellers. Regardless of the entry point chosen, the ED Card is required and immigration officers will ask you to present your digital or printed receipt upon arrival.
Grenada's main airport (IATA code: GND), located at Point Salines in the parish of St. George's, in the south of the main island. It serves direct flights and connections from North America, Europe, the Caribbean and other international destinations.
Grenada's main port, which regularly receives cruise ships and ferries from neighbouring islands. Cruise passengers on a stopover must also have completed their ED Card before disembarking.
Entry point for the island of Carriacou, accessible by ferry from Grenada and from Petite Martinique. The ED Card is required at this entry point as elsewhere.
Small airport located on the island of Carriacou, serving regional flights. The ED Card is required for all passengers, including on domestic routes arriving from the main island.
06 · Before you leave
Grenada, nicknamed the Spice Isle for its production of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger, is a Caribbean island state comprising the main island of Grenada, the island of Carriacou, Petite Martinique and several islets. Located in the Lesser Antilles, south of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and north of Trinidad and Tobago, it attracts visitors from around the world each year thanks to its white sand beaches, lush tropical forests, exceptional scuba diving sites and rich cultural heritage.
Preparing for a trip to Grenada means above all ensuring that the administrative formalities are in order before packing your suitcase. Here is some practical advice to help you depart with peace of mind.
The ED Card is the only immigration formality to be completed online before your trip to Grenada for the vast majority of nationalities. It is completely free on the official portal edcard.gov.gd and must be completed before each entry and each exit from the territory. Every traveller — including children and babies — must have their own receipt. If you arrive without having completed the ED Card, kiosks are available at Maurice Bishop International Airport, but this causes additional delays. It is better to plan ahead and submit the form the day before departure.
On the ground, Grenada is a member of the Commonwealth, CARICOM (Caribbean Community) and the OECS (Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States). Its immigration regulations are specific to the Grenadian government and entirely independent of the Schengen area. In Europe, the closest Grenadian diplomatic representations are generally found in London (United Kingdom) or Brussels (Belgium, accredited to the EU).
The official language is English, which makes communication on the ground straightforward. The Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD) is the local currency, but US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas. Remember to check the conditions of your travel insurance before departure, particularly medical and repatriation cover, which is always recommended for a stay in the Caribbean.
