Grenada Citizenship By Investment

Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme offers a reputable, efficient path to second citizenship for qualified investors and their families. There is no residency or language requirement, dual citizenship is permitted, and a spouse and dependent children (and, in some cases, dependent parents) can be included.

Investment routes:

- National Transformation Fund (NTF) contribution — a non‑refundable donation that supports national development. Minimums are set by regulation and vary by family size; confirm the current schedule and fees before applying.

- Approved real estate — purchase in a government‑designated development (typically hospitality or mixed‑use). A set minimum applies, with a multi‑year holding period (commonly five years), plus government and due‑diligence fees.

Key advantages:

- Streamlined processing, typically 3–6 months after file submission, subject to clean background checks and timely responses.

- Robust due diligence and a stable regional currency (XCD) pegged to the USD.

- Wide visa‑free/visa‑on‑arrival access, including the Schengen Area; always verify the latest travel list and entry rules.

- Eligibility for the U.S. E‑2 Treaty Investor visa route, subject to U.S. law and consular practice; applicants who obtained citizenship by investment are currently expected to demonstrate three years of domicile in Grenada before applying.

Eligibility and compliance:

- Applicants 18+ of good character, with clean police certificates.

- Verified lawful source of funds and adequate financial standing.

- Full KYC, medical declaration, and enhanced due‑diligence checks; interviews for adult applicants may be required. Certain nationalities or sanctioned persons may face restrictions.

Process overview:

1) Pre‑screening and KYC with a licensed agent.

2) Select NTF or approved real estate; pay due‑diligence/processing fees.

3) Due‑diligence review and approval‑in‑principle.

4) Remit contribution or complete the property purchase and pay government fees.

5) Oath of allegiance; issuance of naturalization certificate and passport.

Applications must be submitted via authorized agents. Program terms, thresholds, and travel access can change—obtain up‑to‑date advice before proceeding further.
