Why Consider Grenada Citizenship?

Grenada citizenship offers solid international mobility and a unique link to the US E-2 investor visa. This can give entrepreneurs the opportunity to legally live and work in the United States without needing a Green Card or US citizenship. Grenada is therefore often chosen by people who want to connect to the US market operationally or personally.

Strong Global Mobility

Visa-free or simplified access to around 145+ countries, including the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, China, and Russia.

Tax Exposure

With tax residency in Grenada, there are no taxes on capital gains, inheritances, wealth, or gifts. Foreign income is also not taxed, provided it does not arise from a local activity or permanent establishment in Grenada.

Family-Oriented Program

A main applicant can include close family members as dependents in the application, including a spouse, children — biological or adopted — up to age 30, dependent parents, and siblings aged 18 and over. Children and a future spouse can be added later without a new investment.

Strategic Classification

Grenada is not a standard second passport, but a functional solution for US-related life or business plans. It is suitable for people who want to combine mobility with a concrete connection option toward the United States — and less relevant if travel freedom alone is the main objective.

Citizenship by Investment Requirements

To qualify for Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment program, applicants must meet the following requirements:

  • Minimum age: 18 years
  • No criminal record
  • Successful completion of the government due diligence review
  • Demonstrably good health

How Do You Obtain Grenada Citizenship by Investment?

Under the Citizenship by Investment program, two routes are available: either a non-refundable donation of at least 250,000 USD to the National Transformation Fund (NTF), with the amount potentially increasing depending on the number of included family members. Alternatively, an investment of at least 300,000 USD in a government-approved real estate project is possible. The acquired property can generally be sold again after a holding period of five years.

Investment Options

To qualify, one of the following options can be chosen:

  • Non-refundable contribution to the National Transformation Fund (NTF) starting at 250,000 USD (depending on the family composition, the amount may increase).
  • Investment in an approved real estate project starting at 300,000 USD (minimum holding period: 5 years).

Note: Caribbean citizenship programs have been under increased international pressure for some time, particularly from the EU and the United States. Further tightening of requirements and adjustments to investment amounts cannot be ruled out in the future.
