ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, Mar 2, CMC – Grenada has become the latest Caribbean country to officially launched an online embarkation/disembarkation (ED) card platform, advancing what it described as the island’s border processing system and enhancing the arrival experience for visitors.
The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) said that as Monday, travellers to Grenada can complete their ED card online prior to arrival by visiting edcard.gov.gd, streamlining entry procedures at ports of entry.
It said that 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 systems. As visitor arrivals continue to grow and we expand into new markets, efficient processing at our ports of entry becomes increasingly important,” said Tourism, Creative Economy and Culture Minister, Adrian Thomas.
“This initiative strengthens our operational readiness and reinforces Grenada’s standing as a globally competitive destination,” Thomas said, describing the initiative as a key step in strengthening Grenada’s tourism infrastructure.
GTA chief executive officer, Stacey Liburd, said that modernizing arrival procedures is a critical component of destination competitiveness.
“Today’s traveler values efficiency and ease. 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,” she added.
The GTA said that beyond visitor convenience, the new system supports immigration and border operations by reducing processing time and improving passenger flow, particularly during peak travel periods.
“As Grenada continues to see strong demand across leisure, cultural and luxury travel segments, enhancements to entry systems and supporting infrastructure remain integral to the destination’s sustainable growth agenda,” the GTA added.
