Citizenship by Investment in Grenada

Popularly known as the Spice Island for its myriad of locally grown spices, Grenada offers one of the most picturesque waterfronts in all the Caribbean. The sublime scenery is just one of the many reasons to visit the three beautiful main islands. Diving, sailing, excellent restaurants, fabulous beaches, and a calendar of unforgettable festivities have fortified Grenada’s status as the preferred destination of many high net worth investors.

Grenada has the only Caribbean citizenship program that holds an E-2 Investor Visa Treaty with the USA, allowing citizens to be eligible to apply for a non-immigrant visa.

Qualification Criteria

The Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program requires applicants to either make a significant economic contribution to the country or to acquire a government-approved qualifying asset. In exchange, and subject to a stringent vetting and due diligence process, including thorough background checks, the applicants and their families will be granted citizenship. To qualify for citizenship, the primary applicant must be over 18 years of age, meet the application requirements, and satisfy one of the two primary qualifying options:

  1. National Transformation Fund donation option: A minimum non-refundable contribution to the NTF of USD$150,000 for single applicants
  2. Real estate option: A purchase of at least USD$220,000 from a government-approved real estate project. An additional minimum non-refundable contribution of USD$50,000 applies for this option

Procedures and Timeline

The application process for Grenadian citizenship is efficient and uncomplicated, and the applicant is not required to visit Grenada to complete the process.

The Grenadian citizenship by investment application pack will be delivered to you by NIMARIA. It will include all the relevant documentation, accompanied by detailed instructions. Once everything is returned to us, we will double-check the application for completeness and accuracy to minimize the possibility of rejection.

Once an application is submitted, the government generally provides an answer within 90 days. Passports for successful applicants will be issued within 10 working days. Applicants are not required to pick up their passports in person. NIMARIA will coordinate the collection process and send the passport(s) to the client.

Under the real estate option, the time frame may vary depending upon the project. Therefore, it is important to select a real estate project that is able to provide the necessary paperwork from the developer. NIMARIA will guide you in this regard.
