Overstay Penalties & Consequences

## Overstay Penalties

### Known Framework

- Immigration Department (under Royal Grenada Police Force) enforces the Immigration Act (Chapter 145)
- Overstaying is an immigration violation that can result in detention, deportation, and entry bans
- Specific fine amounts are not publicly documented
- Work permit crackdowns have been reported in local media (The New Today Grenada)

### Small Island Reality

Grenada's population of 117,000 means authorities know the community. Foreign workers are visible. Deportation is the likely consequence of overstaying.

### No Bangladesh Consular Support

No Bangladesh embassy or consulate in Grenada. Nearest diplomatic mission would be in the USA or possibly Trinidad & Tobago. An overstaying worker would have extremely limited support.

Job Market

Tourism 40%+ of GDP. Sandals, Six Senses. CARICOM free movement preference. CBI construction goes to locals/CARICOM first. Min wage $385/mo below BD garment wages.

Grenada's minimum wage of EC$6.50/hour (~$385 USD/month) has been unchanged since January 2022. This is the LOWEST minimum wage in this Caribbean batch.

Critical comparison: At $385/month, Grenada's minimum wage is comparable to or LOWER than actual take-home pay in Bangladeshi garment factories ($120-180/month plus overtime). Combined with Grenadian cost of living of $1,200-1,500/month in St. George's, a minimum-wage worker faces an $815-1,115/month deficit — meaning survival is impossible without employer-provided housing and meals.

The XCD is pegged 2.70:1 to USD since 1976 — stable, no currency risk. But currency stability does not fix the wage-vs-cost gap.

Housing & Living

St. George's: ~$1,500/month. Min wage $385/mo = $1,115 deficit. Cannot afford rent alone.

Social & Culture

No BD community. ~0.75% Muslim, 2 mosques, limited halal food. No bilateral agreement. No embassy.

Business Opportunities

There are no realistic business opportunities for Bangladeshi nationals in Grenada. The economy is dominated by tourism, nutmeg/spice exports, and the CBI program. The market is tiny (117,000 people). No documented Bangladeshi entrepreneurs operate in Grenada. The spice trade is locally controlled and family-based. CBI real estate development is managed by international developers with local labor.
