Grenada’s second citizenship holders can enter and visit Saudi Arabia for multiple purposes through an easy-to-obtain electronic visa, which can be obtained online or at any port of entry into the Kingdom. 

Each visa will be valid for one year and can be used for multiple entries, provided that the total duration does not exceed three months, whether for a single or multiple trips. The visa must be extended after the expiration of the valid one. To obtain a new visa, the person must leave and return to the country.

The visa is issued immediately, either through the Saudi Embassy’s digital platform or upon arrival at any port of entry into the Kingdom. Second citizenship holders can use the visa for tourism, business, visiting relatives and friends, or performing Umrah, provided this is not during the Hajj season.

It is worth noting that diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Grenada began in the same year (2023) at the level of non-resident ambassadors. Since then, the two countries have held numerous meetings and signed agreements that have benefited the Grenada passport holders.

KSA’s Deals with Grenada and Impact on Second citizenship

1. Infrastructure Project Support Agreements 2023

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Fund for Development, Mr. Sultan bin Abdulrahman, visited Grenada, accompanied by a number of officials, and met with the Prime Minister of Grenada, Mr. Deacon Mitchell. The two sides discussed ways to cooperate in common areas to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. 

This visit, which took place in August 2023, comes as part of the KSA’s interest in building a long-term partnership with Grenada, with a focus on social and economic sectors, including projects related to climate change and mitigation. This will provide a strong boost and new opportunities for Grenada citizenship by investment holders.

2. Agreements in Public Sectors 2024

Last year, a diplomatic meeting was held between the two countries, where His Highness Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, met with the President of Grenada, Mr. Deacon Mitchell, in the presence of the Minister of Trade and Foreign Affairs of Grenada, and the Kingdom’s Ambassador to the United States, Ms. Reema bint Bandar.

The meeting was held on the sidelines of the high-level meeting of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. The meeting discussed several areas of mutual interest that could benefit investors in Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Program.

3. Air Services Agreement 2025

In a valuable addition to the second citizenship program and its holders, the Republic of Grenada signed an international aviation agreement with the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on April 14 of this year, during the International Civil Aviation Conference held in Doha, the Qatari capital. 

The agreement was signed by the Prime Minister of Grenada, Mr. Deacon Mitchell, and the President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mr. Abdulaziz Al-Duailej. It was also attended by prominent figures, including the Vice President of Air Transport and International Cooperation and the Director of the Saudi Bilateral Agreements Department. 

The agreement included aviation agreements between the two countries, most notably the operation of regular passenger and cargo flights, code-sharing, regulation of traffic rights, and operational and security aspects of airspace.

Commenting on the agreement, Grenada’s Prime Minister, Mr. Michel, said: “This agreement reflects Grenada’s commitment to diversifying its global partnerships and opening new horizons for economic growth, cultural exchange, and tourism promotion.”

This agreement is a valuable step for second citizenship holders, as it will provide new opportunities for investors and open up new markets, particularly in the areas of transportation and sustainable development. This partnership will also support Grenada by strengthening its position as an attractive tourist destination for tourists from the Kingdom in particular and the Gulf in general. 

What is the Second Citizenship and what are its details?

Second citizenship is an alternative phrase to citizenship through investment programs, allowing individuals to obtain a second passport and citizenship after investing in one of the countries offering these programs, such as Grenada.

For its part, Grenada offers an attractive program that allows visa-free entry to over 150 countries, including China, Canada, the United Kingdom, and all European countries. It is also the only citizenship program that allows access to the United States and the opportunity to establish businesses there through a special treaty between Grenada and the United States.

In addition to free entry, Grenada’s second citizenship program offers many other benefits, including a favorable tax regime and the ability to add a family to the application file on one of the most picturesque Caribbean islands, with reasonable investment amounts.
