Overview

Grenada's remote work permit, created by the Remote Employment Act 2021, lets non-nationals live on the Spice Isle for up to a year at a time and exempts income generated outside Grenada from local income tax. The permit can be renewed a year at a time, and the Act places no cap on the number of renewals. The statute fixes the income bar at EC$100,000 a year (about US$37,000) and the application fee at US$1,500 for an individual, which makes Grenada a mid-range Caribbean option with a quieter pace than its bigger neighbours.

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.
Is the Grenada income requirement monthly or annual?
It is set as an annual figure. We show roughly $3083/month for comparison against other programmes, but the official test is applied to your yearly income, so a strong year with uneven months can still qualify.
How long can I actually stay in Grenada?
The first grant runs 12 months and can be renewed. 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. Under the Act a dependant can be a spouse, child, legal ward, parent or parent-in-law, or grandchild. The application fee is US$2,000 for the holder plus up to 3 dependants, with US$200 for each additional dependant. Dependants may not attend public schools, and those over 16 need a police certificate. 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. Remote Employment Act 2021, s.9(1): permit holders pay no income tax on income generated outside Grenada.. 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?
The permit is valid for up to one year and can be renewed for further periods of up to one year each, with no cap on the number of renewals in the Act. Apply at least 30 calendar days before expiry. Renewal fee: US$1,400 individual, US$1,900 with up to 3 dependants (+US$200 per additional dependant). 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.
