Programme Overview

Grenada has operated its citizenship by investment programme since 2013. Two structures qualify: a non-refundable contribution to the National Transformation Fund, or an investment in pre-approved property that may be sold on after a holding period.

Grenada is selected for what the citizenship permits afterwards — principally the United States E-2 treaty — rather than for the speed of issue.

Key Benefits

The Only Caribbean E-2 Treaty

Grenada is the only Caribbean state holding an E-2 treaty with the United States, so a citizen who opens a qualifying business may live and work in America with their family.

Reach Into the UK, Canada, and Europe

Visa-free travel to the United Kingdom, Canada, China, and the Schengen Area.

Tax Treatment

No tax on global income, inheritance, dividends, or capital gains for non-resident citizens.

A Recoverable Route

The property option returns capital once the holding period has passed, so the cost of citizenship need not be written off.

Who this serves

UHNW Investors

Principals assembling a portfolio of jurisdictions rather than buying a single passport.

Entrepreneurs with US Ambitions

Founders who want an operating presence in the United States without waiting on an immigrant visa queue.

Families Seeking Security

Households insuring against disruption where they live, with status that passes automatically to their children.

International Business Owners

Owners whose trading and holding structures need a neutral second nationality behind them.

Investment Options

1. National Transformation Fund

A non-refundable contribution to the government fund supporting Grenada’s economic development, employment, and social programmes. The most straightforward option, requiring no ongoing management.

Amounts: Principal applicant + spouse + 2 children: $235,000. Each additional family member: $25,000/$50,000 (child/adult). Sibling: $75,000.

2. Pre-Approved Property

Investment in tourism projects, hotels, or residential property with the right to sell after 5 years. Potential rental income and capital appreciation, with shared ownership options reducing the investment threshold.

Amounts: Principal applicant + spouse + 2 children: $350,000 (or $270,000 for shared ownership).
