Health insurance
Health insurance in Grenada
Comprehensive medical cover for people who live or stay long-term in Grenada, with proper inpatient/outpatient benefits, not just emergency travel cover.
Grenada runs a remote-work visa under its 2021 Remote Employment Act: English-speaking, no local tax on foreign income, and valid for up to a year with a one-year renewal. The catch is island-scale healthcare. There is one main public hospital and a handful of small private clinics, so serious cases are flown to Barbados, Trinidad or the US, which makes medical evacuation the part of any policy that actually matters. Proof of health insurance is a condition of the visa.

Health insurance in Grenada: FAQ
In most cases Grenada expects long-stay residents and visa applicants to show proof of health coverage. The specific bar (carrier, sum insured, residency-vs-travel cover) depends on your visa class; the Grenada guide covers the country's current visa-and-residency stance.
Premiums vary by age, plan and deductible far more than by country; the underwriting risk is priced, not the postal code. The Grenada guide breaks down local treatment costs so you can see what your insurance protects you from, then run a real quote for your own number.
It depends on your situation: how long you're staying, your visa class, your age and health, and whether you want cashless treatment or are fine with reimbursement.
