The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises the public that the Government of the United States has today announced the expansion of the use of visa bonds in the processing of certain visa applications.
The Ministry confirms that Grenada is among the countries listed in the expanded visa bond
programme.
The measure relates specifically to visitor visas for business and tourism (B1/B2 categories) and provides for the possible requirement of a bond, ranging from US$5,000 to US$15,000, in individual cases, as determined during the visa interview process.
The Ministry further notes that it has been advised by the United States authorities that the application of any such bond is assessed on a case-by-case basis and is not automatically applied to all applicants.
The Government of Grenada is actively engaging with its United States counterparts to ensure that the interests of Grenadian nationals are fully understood and appropriately reflected in the implementation of this measure.
Members of the public are encouraged to rely on official information and to ensure full compliance with the conditions of any visa issued.
