Grenada · Remote-work permit · Formal dn visa
The statutory name is a remote-work permit under the Remote Employment Act, 2021 (Act No. 3 of 2021), in force on 9 July 2021. It is not the ordinary visitor visa and not a Ministry of Labour work permit. Income must be at least EC$100,000 a year, earned outside Grenada, and shown as intended to continue for the permit. At the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank peg of EC$2.70 = US$1, that is US$37,037. No monthly amount and no extra income per dependant are published. The individual fee is US$1,500 (EC$4,050). An applicant with up to three dependants pays US$2,000 (EC$5,400) instead. Each dependant after those three is US$200 (EC$540). Renewal is US$1,400, or US$1,900 with up to three dependants, and US$200 for each further dependant. The Act does not say how to pay. A grant lasts up to one year and can be shorter. Renewal, filed at least 30 days before expiry, is for up to one further year. The Act does not cap the number of renewals. Losing the foreign employment must be reported within 7 days and can lead to revocation. Citizens of Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines cannot use this permit. A dependant may be a spouse, a child under 18, a ward, a parent of either spouse, or a grandchild. No dependant may attend a public school. Health insurance is required for everyone on the permit. A police certificate is required for the applicant and for any dependant over 16, covering each country of residence in the previous 12 months. Foreign-source income is not taxed in Grenada. Holders are deemed not resident for the citizenship, elections and immigration Acts, so the permit is not a path to residence or citizenship. Local employment, a local business, and paid services to anyone in Grenada are prohibited. A separate work permit under the Foreign Nationals and Commonwealth Citizens (Employment) Act is a different application. Apply to the Chief Immigration Officer on Schedule I of the Act. No application portal was available on 9 October 2026. The Washington embassy's consular pages publish the ordinary visitor visa only. Its mail, money-order, notarized-photo, ten-business-day and six-week instructions are not requirements of this permit. Whether Immigration is issuing permits in 2026 was not confirmed.
