Grenada Travelers Face New US Visa-Bond Deposits of Up to US$15,000

Grenada is among roughly fifty countries now affected by a US visa-bond system that can require B1/B2 applicants to deposit between US$5,000 and US$15,000 before travel is authorized. The deposit is refundable upon compliance, but it raises the upfront cost and complexity of US visits for affected nationals.

Washington frames the policy as an overstay-compliance and enforcement tool; critics warn it weighs heaviest on lower-income travelers and could dampen tourism and family travel.

What this means for you: if you plan US travel on a Grenadian passport, check current reciprocity and bond requirements early, since the deposit must be arranged before authorization.
