Travel advice for Grenada

Austria advises caution throughout Grenada, recommending standard precautions such as carrying little cash, copying documents and avoiding dark or isolated areas at night. Grenada is in the Caribbean hurricane zone; drug offences can bring severe penalties, and same-sex conduct is illegal. The age of consent may be higher than in Austria or vary by region. Comprehensive insurance is urged, and a local driving permit is required for left-side traffic.

Exercise increased caution when visiting Grenada. During the Atlantic and Caribbean hurricane season, from 1 June to 30 November, follow forecasts, warnings and instructions. Crime is relatively high, especially during New Year and the August carnival, and street crime can be violent and target tourists, so avoid deserted areas at night and secure valuables. Strong currents and a lack of lifeguards or warning flags on some beaches require particular care when swimming.

Travel with increased caution because theft, occasional armed robbery, sexual assault and possible terrorism are risks, while poorly maintained roads make night driving especially dangerous. Protect yourself against mosquito-borne infections, including dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Monitor local guidance during hurricanes, earthquakes and possible submarine volcanic eruptions.

Exercise increased caution in Grenada because violent crime can occur anywhere. American citizens have experienced armed robbery, assault, burglary, and rape, and some have been killed. Police response times may be slower than expected in the United States.

Exercise normal security precautions in Grenada. Petty crime occurs and increases before and during Carnival, while sexual assault and harassment may affect women. Be vigilant around yachts on the south coast, and avoid travelling between and around eastern Caribbean islands at night. Use licensed taxis and safe minibuses, and note dangerous riptides, poor roads and demonstrations that can turn violent or disrupt transport.

Normal precautions apply, but Estonia has no foreign mission in Grenada, and other EU countries also lack representations there. Consult other countries' travel information and alerts, as consular assistance for stolen or lost passports or detention is extremely difficult. Estonian citizens may stay visa free for up to 90 days within 180 days, but Grenada may change entry and stay conditions without prompt notice.

Germany advises normal precautions for Grenada.

Hong Kong advises normal precautions for Grenada.

Take normal precautions when travelling to Grenada. During hurricane season, monitor local and international weather reports, follow local authorities, and reconsider travel if extreme weather is projected. Obtain comprehensive insurance and follow local laws and customs. Irish citizens do not need a visa but must carry a valid Irish passport, as passport cards cannot be used.

Japan advises normal precautions for Grenada.

Prepare for June to November hurricanes, which can cause heavy rain, mudslides, flooding and impassable roads; follow local instructions and monitor news. Petty crime is uncommon, but good preparation reduces the risk of robbery or deception. Drugs, including soft drugs, are illegal and carry much harsher penalties than in the Netherlands. LGBTQ+ travellers and people in camouflage clothing, including children, risk severe punishment, while limited healthcare makes travel insurance important.

Singapore advises normal precautions when travelling to Grenada. Be aware of robbery, avoid carrying large amounts of cash or wearing jewellery, avoid street ATMs, and use reliable taxis; if robbed, do not resist. Drug offences carry heavy penalties, so pack your own luggage and do not accept gifts from strangers. Consult a doctor about health requirements, buy comprehensive insurance, and follow local-authority advice during hurricane season.

Normal precautions apply. British citizens need a passport valid for six months after arrival and can visit without a visa for up to three months. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required when arriving from a listed transmission risk country. Declare prohibited goods and goods subject to tax or duty, obtain insurance and check healthcare, because treatment can be expensive and serious cases may need evacuation.
