Grenada Digital Nomad Visa: Requirements, Income & How to Apply (2026)

The visa is open to remote employees, freelancers, and business owners, provided the employer, business, or clients are based outside Grenada. There is no degree requirement and no set profession list. You do need a clean criminal record, a passport with at least six months of validity beyond the visa, and health insurance that covers you while you are on the island.

Grenadian nationals cannot use the route — it is for incomers earning foreign income. Early versions of the program required proof of Covid-19 vaccination; treat any vaccination clause as something to confirm against the current form rather than assume, since pandemic-era rules have largely been wound back.

The requirement is a flat EC$100,000 a year, and because the East Caribbean dollar is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed EC$2.70 to US$1, that converts to roughly US$37,000 and stays there — the peg means the US-dollar figure does not drift the way a floating currency would. It is a single household figure tied to the main applicant, not a per-person threshold.

Family is handled through fees, not a higher income bar. A family of four is priced around US$2,000 against US$1,500 for an individual, with roughly US$200 per additional dependant, but the EC$100,000 income test is still measured against the main applicant. You prove it with pay evidence, contracts, or bank statements showing the foreign source.

Grenada's process is old-fashioned by nomad-visa standards: you complete the remote-worker visa form from the gov.gd documents portal and submit it, with supporting documents, to the Grenada embassy or high commission that covers your region — often by mail rather than a slick online portal. The fee is around US$1,500 for an individual and US$2,000 for a family of four.

Processing is quick once the file lands, usually about ten business days. If you want a second year, you reapply to extend rather than rolling over automatically, and you must still meet the income and insurance requirements at that point.

Grenada uses a territorial tax system, which is the practical reason the visa is attractive: income earned from outside the country is generally not subject to Grenadian tax. As a remote worker paid by a foreign employer or foreign clients, your earnings sit outside the local tax net as long as you can show the source is foreign. This does not release you from tax at home — a US or UK taxpayer still files there — but Grenada itself does not layer a second income tax on top.

Your spouse and children can come with you on the same visa. Grenada does not run a separate income multiplier for them; instead the fee steps up — roughly US$2,000 for a family of four versus US$1,500 for one person, and about US$200 for each additional dependant. The EC$100,000 income requirement is still assessed against the main applicant, so a single earner can bring a family provided that one income clears the bar. Each family member needs their own health cover for the stay.

On money, Grenada undercuts most of the Caribbean. Its roughly US$37,000 is below Dominica's US$50,000 and a fraction of the Cayman Islands' US$100,000 individual requirement, while the Bahamas sets no fixed floor at all. Where Grenada gives ground is polish: the mail-in, embassy-based process feels dated next to fully online systems, and the visa caps at two years with no residency ladder. If your priority is the lowest realistic income bar in the region with no local tax on foreign earnings, Grenada is one of the two or three strongest options.

The most common friction is the process itself, not the income. Because applications typically go to a Grenada embassy or high commission rather than a single web portal, applicants lose time working out which mission handles their region and how it wants documents delivered — sort that out before you assemble the file. Keep your passport well clear of the six-months-past-expiry rule, since a short passport is an easy rejection. Watch for outdated requirements circulating online, especially Covid-era vaccination clauses, and verify against the current gov.gd form. For the second year, start the extension before the first twelve months lapse rather than letting the visa expire and reapplying cold.
