Work permit renewal in Grenada

Written from published rules on 28 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Ministry of Labour / Immigration Department. Rules here vary, so check carefully.

Renewing a work permit in Grenada involves submitting an application through the employer to the relevant immigration authorities to extend the legal right to work. The process requires documentation confirming continued employment and valid legal status within the country.

Your timing

It is standard practice to begin the renewal process at least 60 to 90 days before the current permit expires. This accounts for administrative processing times and potential delays in scheduling required appointments or background checks.

Start 90 days ahead

Early application is advised to ensure there is no gap in work authorization, as processing times vary based on current administrative volume.

The process

  1. 1Consult with the employer to verify that the business remains in good standing to sponsor foreign workers.
  2. 2Obtain and complete the required application forms for a work permit renewal from the Ministry of Labour.
  3. 3Compile all necessary supporting documentation, including updated photographs and proof of continued employment.
  4. 4Submit the completed application package to the Immigration Department or the Ministry of Labour office.
  5. 5Pay the applicable processing and permit fees as instructed by the authorities.
  6. 6Attend any required interviews or provide additional information if requested by immigration officials.
