VISA/PASSPORT
There is no visa requirement for stays up to three months for both US and Canadian citizens. However, now that the United States requires a passport to re-enter, Grenadian immigration authorities have been more closely scrutinizing the documentation of arriving American citizens and may deny entry for insufficient documentation of citizenship. There is an airport departure fee of US$20 for adults and US$10 for children between the ages of five and twelve. All Americans traveling by air outside of the United States are required to present a passport or other valid travel document to enter or re-enter the United States. This requirement includes sea travel (except closed-loop cruises), including ferry service.

Please note obtaining a visa is your responsibility. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Embassy of France for the most up to date visa information.

HEALTH
Health insurance is required. Medical facilities are good quality but not widespread. We recommend that you see a health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. The doctor or health-care provider will determine what vaccinations and medication you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.
