›Can Grenada passport holders enter Seychelles?
Grenada passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival in Seychelles, which simplifies the initial entry step. You can enter Seychelles on a VOA, then apply for the digital nomad visa in-country if the program permits local applications. Check the VOA validity period and ensure it gives you enough time to complete the digital nomad visa process before it expires.
›Requirements for Grenada passport holders
The Workcation Visa assesses all applicants on the same criteria regardless of nationality. Grenada citizens can apply provided they meet the following requirements:
- Income: Not specified — proven via 3–6 months bank statements
- Remote work proof: Employment contract, freelance agreements, or client letters confirming you work for non-Seychelles entities
- Health insurance: Travel and health insurance with COVID-19 coverage required
- Clean background: Police clearance from Grenada (apostilled if required by Seychelles)
- Valid passport: Grenada passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay
- Accommodation proof: Rental agreement, hotel booking, or property documents in Seychelles
Important: Documents not in Seychelles's official language or English must be certified translated. Grenada applicants should confirm apostille requirements for documents issued in Grenada.
›How Grenada citizens apply — step by step
- Gather documentation. Collect 3–6 months of bank statements showing consistent income above the threshold, employment contracts or freelance agreements, valid Grenada passport (6+ months validity), international health insurance certificate, and a police clearance certificate.
- Authenticate documents. Check whether Seychelles requires apostille stamps on Grenada-issued documents. Arrange certified translations for any documents not in the local language or English. This step can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
- Check entry requirements. Verify whether Grenada citizens can enter Seychelles visa-free or need a short-stay visa before applying for the digital nomad visa. Check the Seychelles embassy website for current entry requirements for Grenada passport holders.
- Submit your application. Apply through the official Seychelles government portal. Some programs accept online applications; others require in-person submission at a consulate.
- 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 Seychelles.
›Tax treatment for Grenada digital nomad visa holders
Foreign-sourced income is tax-exempt; territorial tax system applies
Always consult a tax professional who understands both Grenada and Seychelles tax law before committing to an extended stay.
›Common mistakes Grenada applicants make
Weak or inconsistent income documentation
Depositing a lump sum right before applying won't work. Seychelles 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
Grenada applicants often underestimate authentication requirements. Grenada-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
Grenada passport holders may need a short-stay visa to enter Seychelles before their digital nomad visa is approved. Confirm entry requirements with the Seychelles embassy before booking any flights. Entry eligibility and DNV eligibility are separate questions.
