Programme Overview

Grenada Citizenship by Investment Programme offers the unique benefit of E-2 visa treaty access to USA. Caribbean citizenship with comprehensive travel rights and tax benefits.

Grenada's Citizenship by Investment programme stands apart from all Caribbean options for one compelling reason: it is the only Caribbean country with a USA E-2 Treaty Investor Visa agreement. This means Grenada citizens can apply for renewable E-2 visas to live and work in America—a pathway unavailable to citizens of China, India, Vietnam, and many other major economies. Launched in 2013, Grenada's programme offers citizenship through either a $235,000 donation to the National Transformation Fund or a $270,000+ real estate investment. Processing takes approximately 4-6 months with no interview or residency requirements. Beyond USA access, the Grenada passport provides visa-free travel to 146+ countries including the UK, EU Schengen zone, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. For investors seeking Caribbean citizenship with maximum optionality—particularly those eyeing eventual USA business opportunities—Grenada is the strategic choice.
