Grenada

About the Programme

The Grenada Citizenship Program is one of the oldest in the world, launched in 1997. More than 20 years of work of the program means streamlined processes and compliance with the deadlines for all procedures.

Grenada has one of the most popular citizenship programmes. The country’s passport gives a unique opportunity to visit China without a visa for 30 days a year. Grenadian citizens can also obtain a US Entrepreneur Visa – E2. There is no minimum amount of business investment for this type of visa. At the same time, the investor can freely enter and leave the US and live there with his family.

A total of 144 countries are open to Grenada passport holders for free entry.

Participants in the programme choose one of two options – contribute money to a government fund or invest in a real estate project. The contribution starts at $150,000 and the investment in real estate starts at $220,000. The investment under the second option needs to be kept for the first 5 years of citizenship, during which time it is possible to get a rental return. This averages out to 3.5% per annum.

Family members of the investor can also obtain Grenada passports. The process takes 3 to 6 months and is done remotely and confidentially.
