As an applicant, you must be at least 18 years of age, of good character and without a criminal record.
Additionally, you are required to make a non-refundable donation to the National Transformation Fund or make an investment in government-approved real estate projects.
Visa-free and visa-on-arrival travel to over 145 countries and territories including Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Russia, The Schengen area, and the United Kingdom.
The Grenada program is the only one of the Caribbean citizenships by investment programs that offers an opportunity to obtain an E-2 Investor visa in the United States of America
Designed to be a smooth and straightforward process with a timeframe of 6 months to your new citizenship.
Grenada imposes minimal taxation, with an exception of no taxation on wealth, gift, inheritance, foreign income, or capital gain.
There are no residency requirements – you are eligible to apply immediately
There is no need to renounce your current citizenship(s), and your home authorities are not notified of your new citizenship.
The Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program is protected by Grenada’s legislation, namely the ‘Citizenship by Investment Act 15, 2013’. This law is documented and published and forms part of the laws of Grenada as framed and approved by the national parliament. It stipulates that any person can apply for naturalisation and may be eligible for Citizenship on payment of fees if the government is satisfied that such person has invested substantially in Grenada. The act allows for investment to be made in either one of two ways: The first is by making a contribution to the National Transformation Fund, which assists the development of Grenada’s resources, with the aim of benefiting Grenadians. The other option is an investment in a government-approved real estate project, which comes into being after being reviewed and recommended by the committee to the government Minister in charge.
There are two options of qualifying contribution for the Grenada Citizenship-by-Investment Program:
Cash donation to the National Transformation Fund (NTF), Government Escrow Account.
Investment in real estate through one of the government approved real estate asset classes: freehold property with title deed; hotel shares; fractional ownership or land. The investment is subject to a minimum holding period of four (4) years.
In addition to the purchase of real estate, there are government fees to be paid:
In addition, there are other costs associated with both options.
There are compulsory background checks payable to the government preferred due diligence agency that will use Interpol, World-Check and other government agencies to screen applicants based on their application.
The Interview is conducted by an independent professional firm commissioned by the CIU, either virtually, or in person. The Interview must be attended by: • Every main applicant in process • A dependent of a main applicant in process aged 17 years or over, if deemed necessary
The expected timeframe for the application process is 4-6 months. The first stage of the document collection can differ in length depending on the applicant’s ability to gather the documents. Our team guides this process with samples and best practice advice. The reviewal stage is subject to the respective government schedule and can be impacted by factors which we, as authorised agents have no control over. We collaborates with the government throughout the entire process, and we aim to provide the quickest and smoothest experience for the applicant.
We will pre-screen your passport copy for government pre-approval. A down payment of the professional fees is required to open your application. The response is in 24–48 hours.
Our professional team will assist and advise you with the collection of documents required according to the government checklist.
Once your application is submitted, you are required to pay due diligence fees, investment amount, and government fees into the authorised escrow account.
Due diligence report is issued to the government, who will then make a decision. In case of rejection, the client will be refunded accordingly.
The balance of professional fees is paid. The citizenship certificate and passport are issued in your name.
