The Grenada Citizenship by Investment Committee recently announced that there has been delays in processing citizenship and permanent residence applications in Grenada.
According to Grenada CBI Official statement, This is due mainly to delays in receiving reports from our security vetting partners which is a critical component of our diligence process to which each application received is subject to. In light of the current international security climate and the need for increased vigilance, these reports are critical to the conclusion of our process of applications so we are mandated to wait on them.
