Common Questions

How much does the Digital Nomad Visa cost?
The government fee is about $1500. Budget beyond that for health insurance, sworn translations, apostilles and, where required, a criminal-record check — these routinely add up to more than the fee itself.
What is the income requirement for Grenada's nomad visa?
About $3083 a month. Expect to evidence it with several months of bank statements plus a contract or invoices, rather than a single payslip.
How long can I actually stay in Grenada?
The first grant runs 12 months, and renewals can take the total to about 24 months. It does not build towards permanent residence, so treat the cap as the real limit.
Does the Digital Nomad Visa cover a spouse and children?
Yes. Spouse and dependents under 18 can be included. Family application fee is $2,000 (up to 3 dependents). Budget for the higher income threshold that normally comes with each additional person.
Will I pay tax in Grenada on money earned abroad?
Foreign-sourced income is not taxed locally under this route. No local income tax for digital nomad visa holders on foreign-sourced income.. That does not settle your position at home — most countries tax on residence or citizenship, so check both sides before assuming a saving.
Do I have to apply in person for the Digital Nomad Visa?
Yes — this route is not filed online. You can apply from abroad at an embassy or consulate rather than travelling to the country first. Appointment availability is often the binding constraint, so book before assembling documents.
What do I need to renew the Digital Nomad Visa?
Renewable for an additional year, up to 24 months total. File before the current permit expires rather than after — in most systems a lapsed permit means starting the process again from outside the country.
What trips up most Digital Nomad Visa applications?
Insurance wording and the criminal-record certificate. The policy has to cover the whole permitted stay in Grenada on terms the authority accepts, and the police certificate usually needs an apostille and a certified translation — both take longer to obtain than people plan for.
