The Grenada citizenship by investment (CBI) program that existed from 1997 to 2001 was reinstated in 2013 and has been very popular in the last few years. Grenada’s economic citizenship has been viewed as the best to have from the Caribbean as it offers visa-free travel to Europe’s Schengen zone for 90 days in a 180-day period and is the only Caribbean nation whose passport provides visa-free travel to China. One of its other great advantages is the ability of Grenadian nationals to apply for the US E-2 investor treaty visa, enabling the opportunity to work and invest in the U.S.
The latest amendments have made the program more competitive by allowing parents and grandparents of applicants of any age to qualify as dependents. Children up to the age of 30 years old also qualify as dependents. The investment amount for donation was also reduced. The total application process is estimated at between 3 to 4 months until receipt of the passport.
As an applicant you will need to choose between donating cash to the government or buying a government-approved real estate property and holding it for a length of at least 3 years.
