Grenada and UAE to scrap pre-entry visas

Grenada and the United Arba Emirates have taken steps to remove visa restrictions when travelling between the countries.

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed that will exempt Emirati and Grenadian nationals from needing to obtain pre-entry visas.

The MoU will come into effect next month, 30 days after it was signed by each nation’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations – Lana Nussaibeh of the UAE and Keshia A McGuire of Grenada.

Nussaibeh said that the MoU would reinforce cooperation between the UAE and Grenada.

During a recent meeting, the pair discussed several regional and international issues of common interest, including the impact of the September’s Caribbean hurricanes.

The Grenadian ambassador expressed her country’s keenness to enhance bilateral relations with the UAE.

She added that the government of Grenada attaches particular importance to the UAE-Grenada relationship given the position of the UAE in international arenas.
