Background
Location and date
According to the interview given by the contest president, Nawat Itsaragrisil, in August 2022, the host country for Miss Grand International 2025 had already been decided but could not be revealed at the moment due to a contractual agreement.[4][5][6]
On 18 November 2024, the Miss Grand International organization announced on their social media accounts that Thailand would host the pageant for the second consecutive year.[7]
Selection of participants
As of August 2025[update], thirty-six delegates have been confirmed: twenty-three were main winners of the 2025 related-national pageants, five won the title as a supplemental award in a multiple-title national pageant, and eight were appointed.
On 5 June 2025, the Miss Grand International organization officially announced through its social media platforms the new age limit – 18 to 35 years old – for future MGI contestants, effective starting from this edition.[8]
Replacements
Tina Batson of Venezuela resigned her Miss Grand Venezuela 2024 title due to financial issues.[9]

This edition will feature the return of Zimbabwe, which last competed in 2014; North Macedonia (as Macedonia) in 2015; Malta in 2016; Kazakhstan and Zambia in 2018; Kenya in 2020; Portugal and Sri Lanka in 2022; and Costa Rica and Hong Kong in 2023.
