Grenada has officially launched its Online Embarkation/ Disembarkation (ED) Card Platform, designed to streamline the arrival experience for visitors while advancing the country’s border processing system. The new program went into effect March 2.
Visitors to the “Spice Island” in the southern Caribbean can complete their ED Card online prior to arrival by visiting edcard.gov.gd. The digital system eliminates the need for paper forms and is best completed the day before travel or before departing the traveller’s port of embarkation.
“The introduction of the Online ED Card Platform represents a practical and forward-thinking enhancement to our tourism and border management system,” says tourism minister Adrian Thomas. “As visitor arrivals continue to grow and we expand into new markets, efficient processing at our ports of entry becomes increasingly important. This initiative strengthens our operational readiness and reinforces Grenada’s standing as a globally competitive destination.”
The ED Card aligns with Grenada’s broader commitment to improving destination efficiency and elevating the overall visitor journey from the moment travel begins.
Stacey Liburd, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, noted that modernizing arrival procedures is a critical component of destination competitiveness.
“Today’s traveller values efficiency and ease,” she says. “The launch of the Online ED Card Platform reflects Grenada’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the visitor experience while supporting a modern, digitally enabled tourism environment. A smooth arrival process sets the tone for a visitor’s entire stay and initiatives like this help ensure that Grenada remains welcoming, efficient and forward-looking.”
Beyond visitor convenience, the new system supports immigration and border operations by reducing processing time and improving passenger flow, particularly during peak travel periods.
Air Canada currently offers thrice-weekly flights to Grenada.
