Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Saudi citizens. You must obtain a visa from a Grenadian embassy or consulate before traveling.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks. Apply well in advance of your planned travel date.
Visa fees vary by embassy but are usually between $50 and $100 USD. Check with the specific embassy for exact amounts.
Extensions are possible but not guaranteed. You must apply at the Grenada Immigration Department in St. George's before your current stay expires. Fees apply.
If you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk, you need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Saudi Arabia is not a risk country, so it's not required unless you've recently traveled to an affected area.
Your visa application will likely be rejected. Renew your passport first, then apply for the visa.
Not officially required for entry, but strongly recommended. Medical costs can be high, and insurance covers emergencies.
