Grenada, known as the ‘Isle of Spice,’ is one of the
most magnificent islands in the West Indies. Unspoilt and exotic, it astounds
visitors with its wildly jagged mountain peaks, hidden coves, spice plantations, and
lush verdant rainforests. Its beaches are idyllic, with white or golden sand, palm
trees, and the delicate aroma of the island’s native spices.
In addition to its scenery, Grenada offers culture, fun, and friendliness
typical of the authentic Caribbean life – making Grenada the perfect place in which
to live, work and play.
The Grenadian citizenship program is the best entry
route to obtaining a second passport either through a $150,000 government donation
or $220,000 property investment.
Grenada is the only Caribbean country which holds the coveted E-2 visa treaty
with the US, allowing citizens to apply for a non-immigrant visa and reside there.
This is an incredible opportunity as many countries such as China, Russia, India and
countries of the Gulf region do not have an E-2 treaty with the US, you can obtain
your citizenship of Grenada first then apply for USA E2 Visa.
When applying for this program, children and parents, as well as unmarried
siblings, can be included under one application.
The National Transformation Fund (NTF) was established
in 2013 as a means of transforming Grenada’s economy into one that is ever more
prosperous and independent. The NTF finances various projects in Grenada for the
benefit of its many industries, including Toursism, agriculture, and alternative
energy. Having made a donation to the NTF, investors are left with a true sense of
having contributed to their new nation’s wellbeing.
Applicants opting for the NTF route must contribute at least USD 150,000 to the
Fund. The following chart highlights the costs and fees associated with this route.
One of the options available to applicants seeking to
obtain citizenship by investment in Grenada is to invest in a Government-approved
project. Currently, these projects encompass real estate developments such as
hotels, villas, and resorts. Because of the growth of the Toursism industry, there is
rising demand for Toursist housing facilities. Real estate developments are thus
fantastic opportunities for investors looking for high returns.
Applicants opting for the approved project (real estate) route must invest at
least USD 220,000. They must keep the real estate for at least five (5) years
following the grant of citizenship. The following chart highlights the costs and
fees associated with this route.

The minimum price for approved real estate developments are set by the Government of Grenada and factor in the value of the citizenship. For years the minimum threshold was $350,000. In 2019, the Government introduced a second, cheaper real estate option priced at $220,000. The new price-point is specifically for Toursism accom- modation projects and allows two or more individuals to purchase a fractional interest in an investment unit. Most projects approved for the $220,000 price point offer fractional freehold or fractional leasehold interest, or a share in the company that owns the development. Projects priced at the $350,000 or greater price-point, need not be in the Toursism accommodation sector, and provide a full freehold interest to investors.
Becoming a citizen of Grenada through its CIP is a quick process that lasts between FOUR to FIVE months. During this time, applicants are free to continue living their lives uninterrupted.
