Grenada Digital Nomad Visa for Romanian Passport Holders (2026)

Romanian passport holders do not need a visa to enter Grenada for short stays — which is a significant advantage. You can enter Grenada visa-free, apply for the digital nomad visa from within the country, and avoid the consulate process entirely if the program allows in-country conversion. Always confirm the current maximum stay allowed on entry before booking.

The Digital Nomad Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Romanian citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:

• Income: $37,000/year — proven via 3–6 months bank statements
• Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Grenada entities
• Health insurance: health insurance required
• Clean background: Police clearance from Romania (apostilled if required by Grenada)
• Valid passport: Romania passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
• Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Grenada

Important: Documents not in Grenada's official language or English must be certified translated. Romanian applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Romania.

1. Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Romania passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
2. Authenticate documents. Check whether Grenada requires apostille stamps on Romania-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
3. Check entry requirements. Verify whether Romanian citizens can enter Grenada visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Grenada embassy website for current entry requirements for Romania passport holders.
4. Submit your application. Apply through the official Grenada government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
5. Await approval and enter. Once approved, book travel and confirm your health insurance is active from day one. Register with local immigration if required within the first 30 days of arrival in Grenada.

Tax obligations for Romanian citizens on the Digital Nomad Visa depend on your residency status and duration of stay. Most digital nomad visa holders are not considered tax residents in Grenada if their income originates abroad — but this is not guaranteed.

Extended stays (typically 183+ days in a calendar year) may trigger local tax residency. As a Romania citizen, you must also consider your home country's worldwide income reporting requirements and any bilateral tax treaty between Romania and Grenada.

Always consult a tax professional who understands both Romania and Grenada tax law before committing to an extended stay.

Weak or inconsistent income documentation

Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Grenada immigration officials want to see consistent income above the threshold over 3–6 months. Sporadic freelance payments or transfers from family members don't qualify. Start maintaining clean financial records as early as possible.

Missing apostille or translation requirements

Romanian applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Romania-issued documents — including bank letters, employment contracts, and police certificates — may need apostille stamps and certified translations. This process can take weeks. Budget for it early.

Not confirming entry eligibility before booking travel

Romanian passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Grenada before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Grenada embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
