What Is the Grenada Customs ED Card?
The Grenada Customs ED Card is the official online immigration and customs declaration required by Grenadian authorities for most travellers entering the country. Launched as a digital replacement for paper arrival cards, the ED Card is managed via the government portal and designed to streamline immigration and customs checks at ports of entry, primarily Maurice Bishop International Airport.
You complete the ED Card on the official portal at edcard.gov.gd or through DoVisa for guided completion. The form asks for basic passport biodata, flight information, and customs declarations — you must upload a scan or photo of the passport biodata page and provide a valid email address. Upon approval you receive electronic receipts that include a confirmation you should save to your phone or print; airlines and immigration officers commonly verify the receipt or QR confirmation at check-in and on arrival.
The ED Card is a pre-arrival customs and immigration declaration, not a visa. Visa requirements and permitted length of stay are decided separately at border control — many nationalities may enter visa-free for up to 90 days but must still submit the ED Card in advance. Recent updates to Grenada’s border systems emphasise online submission: the ED Card is available from 72 hours before arrival and is intended to reduce queues at immigration and customs counters.
For full Grenada entry rules see Grenada visa information and the official portal at edcard.gov.gd. When you're ready, Apply for your Grenada Customs ED Card now.
