What is the Grenada CBI Programme?
Grenada's Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme, established under the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act, allows qualifying foreign nationals to obtain full Grenadian citizenship — and a Grenadian passport — through a significant investment in the country's economy. Grenada is one of only a handful of countries in the world that offers a CBI programme, and it is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious. Grenadian citizens enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 countries, including the United Kingdom, the European Union Schengen Area, and China.
Real Estate Investment Route
The most popular route to Grenadian citizenship is through a qualifying real estate investment. The minimum investment threshold is USD $220,000 in an approved real estate project, which must be held for a minimum of five years. Approved projects include luxury resort developments, marina-front residences, and private villa estates. Many qualifying properties also generate rental income during the holding period, making the investment financially attractive as well as personally rewarding.
Key Benefits of Grenadian Citizenship
Visa-free access to 140+ countries including the UK, EU Schengen, and China. The only Caribbean CBI passport that grants access to the United States E-2 Investor Visa, allowing Grenadian citizens to live and work in the USA. No requirement to reside in Grenada before or after citizenship is granted. Family members — including spouse, dependent children, parents, and grandparents — can be included in a single application. No income tax on worldwide income for Grenadian citizens who are not resident in Grenada. A stable, democratic country with a strong rule of law and a respected international reputation.
