Residence permit renewal in Grenada

Written from published rules on 27 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Immigration and Passport Department (Ministry of National Security). Rules here vary, so check carefully.

Renewing a residence permit in Grenada involves submitting an application to immigration authorities to extend the legal right to reside in the country. The process generally requires proving continued eligibility for residency, such as maintained employment, investment, or family status.

Your timing

Applicants typically begin the renewal process at least 30 to 60 days before the current permit expires. This buffer accounts for potential administrative processing times and the time required to collect supporting documentation.

Start 45 days ahead

Allows sufficient time for document verification and administrative processing by the Immigration Department.

The process

  1. 1Obtain the official application form for the extension of stay from the Immigration Department.
  2. 2Gather necessary supporting documentation, including evidence of financial stability and residential status.
  3. 3Submit the completed application form along with the current residence permit to the Immigration and Passport Department.
  4. 4Pay the applicable processing fee as directed by the immigration official.
  5. 5Await notification regarding the approval and collect the endorsed permit or documentation.

Fees vary depending on the category of residency and the duration of the extension; these should be confirmed directly with the Immigration and Passport Department upon submission.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Incomplete application forms often result in significant processing delays.
  • Failure to maintain the specific conditions of the original residency (e.g., employment or investment status) may lead to a denial.
  • Ensure all supporting documents, especially medical or police records if requested, are current and valid.
