Visa requirement

South Africans don't need a visa for Grenada.

Permitted stay

You can stay up to 90 days per visit.

Before you go

• Passport validity

  At least 6 months after arrival (UK advice).

• How to apply

  No application needed. Make sure your passport is stamped on entry.

• Vaccinations, including yellow fever on return to South Africa

  Destination rule: a yellow fever certificate is needed only if you arrive from a country with yellow fever transmission risk; South Africa is not a risk country. Return to South Africa: this country is not a yellow fever risk country, so no certificate is needed on return, unless you transited through a risk country (for example via Panama or South America) on the way.

• Confirm with the embassy

  Rules change. Check the official source before you book.
