The Government of Grenada announces its commercial travel requirements. Grenada’s borders will reopen for regional travel from 15 July 2020. Borders will reopen for international passengers from 1 August.

All travellers must agree to the requirements before being allowed to book and travel to Grenada.

All travellers must complete, sign and submit a Health Declaration Form, and download and register on Grenada’s Contact Tracing App, both of which will be made available on covid19.gov.gd.

All passengers must pay all costs related to their travel (flight, quarantine reservations, costs of testing at origin and in Grenada…)

Who can enter

Who can enter

Prepare ahead

Monitoring:

The Contact Tracing App and other applicable devices will be critical for the quarantine process, and all travellers will be required to download and adhere to the requirements of the App or device, or face the penalty, enforceable by law (A fine of $1,000 or one year in prison).

Related Costs:

First mandatory Rapid and/or PCR: Free Additional Rapid Test: US$30. PCR Tests: US$150. State-approved Quarantine: US$50 (does not include meals, and is subject to availability).

Doublecheck

Low-Risk Countries:

Upon arrival – low risk

People proceeding from regions and countries where there is no known community transmission or where the epidemiology of the region or country is considered favourable or low-risk, (Caricom countries), will be allowed to enter Grenada, subject to undergoing a mandatory rapid test at the time of entry.

  • If the Rapid Test result is negative, the person will be allowed to proceed to their accommodations, and have freedom of movement.
  • If the Rapid Test is positive, the individual will be tested using swab/PCR and placed in quarantine at an approved accommodation at their expense, for 2-4 days, pending PCR result.
  • If the PCR test is negative, the person will exit quarantine.
  • If the PCR Test is positive, they remain in quarantine for a period of up to 14 days, subject to the discretion of the Grenadian health officials, or until they have tested negative on PCR, which may be done twice within a 48-hour period.

 

Medium-Risk Countries:

Upon arrival – medium risk

People proceeding from regions and countries where there is active, but manageable, transmission (Canada, UK and other EU countries) are required to comply with the following requirements. All quarantine accommodation must be approved by the Ministry of Health, and paid for by the passenger. Non-nationals must also have travel insurance covering Covid-19, or declare that they will bear the cost for treatment and isolation.

  • All passengers must have a certified copy of a negative PCR test, dated no more than 7 days prior to departure.
  • All passengers will have to undergo a Rapid Test on arrival at the airport.
  • If the Rapid Test is negative, they will be allowed to go to their approved accommodation, and be allowed limited movement.
  • lf the Rapid Test is positive, the individual will be tested using swab/PCR and placed in quarantine at an approved accommodation at their expense, for 2-4 days, pending PCR result.
  • If the PCR test is negative, the person will exit quarantine and go to their own accommodation and have limited movement, for up to 14 days.
  • If the test is positive, they remain in quarantine for a period of up to 14 days, subject to the discretion of the Grenadian health officials, or until they have tested negative on PCR, which may be done twice within a 48-hour period.

 

High-Risk Countries:

Upon arrival – high risk

Persons proceeding from regions and countries where there is active and wide-spread transmission (only chartered flights, until further notice) are required to undergo a mandatory quarantine period of up to 14 days.

  • All quarantine accommodation must be approved by the Ministry of Health, and paid for by the passenger. Non-nationals must also have travel insurance covering Covid-19, or declare that they will bear the cost for treatment and isolation.
  • All passengers must have a certified copy of a negative PCR test, dated no more than 7 days prior to entry into Grenada.
  • All passengers will have to undergo a PCR test on arrival at the airport or within 48 hours of arrival. The individual will be placed in quarantine at an approved accommodation, at their expense, for 2-4 days, pending PCR result.
  • All passengers coming from Red Zones will have to undergo mandatory quarantine at an approved state facility for a period of up 14 days, subject to the discretion of the Grenadian health officials.

    The app is for google play only. I have an iPhone.
    Is there there an app that is compatible with iPhones that can be downloaded?

    Hello,
    I have to arrive on September 19 in Granada to buy a sailboat, I am arriving from the Dominican Republic. I tested negative for covid 19 15 days ago.
    Is the Dominican Republic zone green zone?
    What should I do when I arrive at the airport?
    Are we supported by a state body?
    Thank you for your answers
    cordially

    I would also like clarification on the limited movement and what this entails and also what is meant by approved accomodation. Does this mean we can only stay in certain hotels/ houses.
    Would we be allowed to travel from Grenada to Carriacou?

    My husband and I are considering travelling to Grenada from Canada in January and staying in a hotel. What is the definition of “limited movement” for medium risk countries like Canada?

    We’re coming from Canada we understand that me and my husband has to do the PCR test before our departure and upon our arrival
    We were just wondering if they require the same thing for our son who’s only 18months old he’s less than 2 so I hope that he wouldn’t need to go thru all that
    If anyone knows any information regards this I would truly appreciate your feedback

    Lastly my husband has a family that have a house there can we live there once we’re tested negative on both test or we have to stay at an approved accommodation for a whole trip which would really be expensive

    So you are coming from New York with your negative test result from a test completed less than 7 days before boarding your flight at JFK or other surrounding airports. You have also downloaded the contact tracing up (????), and you agree to be tested and quarantined at your own expense on landing in Grenada.
    What? What? Please repeat that. Well Grenada won’t be seeing me and a whole lot of people until these regulations/restrictions/infringement are lifted.
    Imagine if you get one week holiday from your job and you want to spend time and money in Grenada. You can’t! Go somewhere else to spend your time and money because whether you tested positive or negative on arriving in Grenada, the authorities would still place you tail in quarantine for 14 days.

    How do I determine EXACTLY what “limited movement” is? Accurate verified information only, no speculation
