  1. Guinea-Bissau

    Tip

    Before
    Guinea-Bissau has a long history of coups and political crises. Avoid protests, checkpoints arguments and the areas around government and military buildings, and monitor the news during your stay.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says the army seized power on 26 November 2025, after the presidential election, and formed a transitional government. The UK government advises avoiding sensitive areas such as military installations and government buildings and following local authorities during any unrest.

  2. Guinea-Bissau

    Tip

    Before
    Bring all the money you need as cash, ideally euros. The CFA franc is pegged to the euro and exchange in Bissau is straightforward, while ATMs and card payments cannot be relied on.
    After
    Bring the cash you need: the UK government says credit cards are rarely used and there are not many ATMs, and Canada says there are none. Canada also says local currency may not be imported or exported, while foreign currency must be declared on arrival.

  3. Guinea-Bissau

    Tip

    Before
    The Bijagós islands — the country's main draw — are reached by boat from Bissau; services are informal and weather-dependent, so build slack into your itinerary.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says the Bijagós Islands are reached by chartered air services or by boat, that tour operators organise boat trips, and that pirogues should be avoided because they are unsafe. Build slack into your itinerary.

  4. Guinea-Bissau

    Best time to visit

    Before
    November to April is the dry season — the best window for Bissau and boat trips to the Bijagós archipelago; heavy rains from June to October cut off much of the country.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says the dry season lasts from December to April and the rainy season from May to November, with high humidity from July to September; the UK government gives June to October for the rains. No official source names a best season; the months shown are the dry season.

  6. Guinea-Bissau

    Payments

    Before
    Guinea-Bissau is a cash economy. Cards are accepted at only one or two Bissau hotels and reliable ATMs are scarce. Bring euros in cash to exchange; the CFA franc is pegged to the euro.
    After
    The UK government describes Guinea-Bissau as a cash-based economy where credit cards are rarely used and there are not many ATMs; Canada's travel advice says there are no ATMs. Canada adds that foreign currency can be brought in without limit if declared on arrival, and that taking it out is limited to the amount declared.

  9. Guatemala

    customs.notes

    Before
    Pre-Columbian artefacts are national heritage — buying, possessing or exporting them is a crime.
    After
    The Government of Canada notes that customs authorities may enforce strict regulations on the import or export of items such as antiquities and artefacts; the UK Foreign Office says you must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

  13. Grenada

    FAQ

    Before
    Not on its own. You need a Grenadian temporary driving permit, issued on the spot by the police or your rental company against a valid home license. Driving is on the left, roads are narrow and steep, and goats are a genuine hazard.
    After
    Not on its own. Canada's travel advice says you need a local driver's licence, which you can buy from a car rental agency or the central police station in St George's by showing your valid home licence. Traffic drives on the left.

  14. Grenada

    Tip

    Before
    Grenada runs a citizenship-by-investment program. If you hold a Grenadian passport obtained that way, expect closer scrutiny when applying for visas elsewhere. The EU in particular has tightened its treatment of Caribbean CBI passports, and visa-free arrangements have been reviewed.
    After

  15. Grenada

    Tip

    Before
    An airport departure tax and security fee applies when leaving Grenada. It is normally bundled into the ticket price, but confirm with your airline rather than assuming you will not be asked at check-in.
    After
    (removed)

  16. Grenada

    Tip

    Before
    The East Caribbean dollar is pegged to the US dollar at about EC$2.70 to US$1. US notes are accepted widely, but you will normally get change in EC dollars at that rate, so paying in US cash for small items is rarely a bargain.
    After
    (removed)

  17. Grenada

    Tip

    Before
    Driving is on the left and visitors need a Grenadian temporary driving permit, bought through the police or your rental company on presentation of your home license. Renting without one invalidates your cover.
    After
    Traffic drives on the left. Canada's travel advice says you need a local driver's licence, which you can buy from a car rental agency or the central police station in St George's by showing your home licence.

  18. Grenada

    Tip

    Before
    Hurricane season runs June to November, peaking in August and September. Grenada sits at the southern edge of the usual storm track but is not immune — Hurricane Beryl devastated Carriacou and Petite Martinique in 2024. Insurance covering storm disruption is worth having.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says hurricane season runs from early June to the end of November. The UK Foreign Office says Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Carriacou and Petite Martinique in July 2024 and that tourist infrastructure there is still reduced while rebuilding continues. Insurance covering storm disruption is worth having.

  19. Grenada

    Before
    Penalties for drug offenses are severe and apply to visitors exactly as they do to residents.

  20. Grenada

    Customs note

    Before
    Fresh produce, plants, seeds and meat are controlled to protect Grenada's spice and agricultural industry. Declare anything of the sort.

  21. Grenada

    Customs note

    Before
    Camouflage-patterned clothing is restricted across much of the eastern Caribbean and can be confiscated on arrival; leave it at home.
    After
    (removed or rewritten)

  22. Grenada

    Customs note

    Before
    Firearms and ammunition may not be brought in without a permit issued in advance — even a single stray round found in luggage is treated as a criminal matter.
    After
    (removed or rewritten)

  23. Grenada

    Currency

    Before

    After

  24. Grenada

    Best time to visit

    Before
    January to April is the dry season, with reliable sun and calm Caribbean-coast seas. August brings Spicemas carnival in the middle of the wetter months, and hurricane season runs June to November.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says the Atlantic and Caribbean hurricane season runs from early June to the end of November.

  25. Grenada

    Payments

    Before
    Hotels, restaurants and the larger supermarkets in St George's and Grand Anse take cards. Local buses, market vendors, beach vendors and small rum shops are cash-only. US dollars are accepted almost everywhere, but change usually comes back in EC dollars.
    After
    Canada's travel advice says the US dollar is accepted alongside the Eastern Caribbean dollar and that ATMs are available throughout Grenada, but only at banks. No official source we could read describes card acceptance.
