Saint Vincent and the Grenadines visa for Swiss citizens

What it means in practice

180 days is about six months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 April 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

That is long enough to rent a place for a season, but a visitor stay is not residence: it does not give you the right to work for a local employer.

How Saint Vincent and the Grenadines counts your stay: The permitted stay is granted on entry. Overstaying or working without a work permit is illegal.

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

• Passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival
• Immigration and customs form receipts, on your phone or printed
• Yellow fever certificate if arriving from a country with yellow fever risk
• Bringing food requires an import licence (foot-and-mouth disease controls)

How to avoid overstaying

• Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
• Plan to leave a day or two early. With 180 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
• Extend before you run out. Apply and pay for an extension with the Immigration Department (Ministry of National Security) before your permitted stay ends.
• What overstaying costs. Overstaying or working without a work permit is illegal.
