Popularly known as the Spice Island for its myriad 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.
The Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program was launched in August 2013 when the Grenadian parliament passed the Citizenship by Investment Act, 2013. Henley & Partners was formally mandated in 2016 by the Government of Grenada to revitalize, enhance, and relaunch the program globally.
The Grenadian Citizenship by Investment Programme offers the following prime benefits:
The Grenada Citizenship by Investment Programme was launched in 2013 under the regulations of the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act. Grenada’s pilot scheme allows qualified investors and their family members to apply for citizenship and benefit from visa-free travel. In recent years tourism has become the leading sector for foreign direct investments in Grenada. Another service sector on the rise is the offshore financial industry, which together with strong performances in construction and manufacturing, have also contributed to growth in national output. As part of its strategy to attract foreign direct investment, the Grenadian government is working closely with a select number of businesses related to tourism, agriculture and manufacturing. Through the implementation of the programme, the government also hopes to create investment opportunities that will bring about sustainable employment. To qualify for citizenship, applicants must fulfill one of the investment options below in addition to the following criteria:
Real Estate Investment
Applicants may purchase government-approved real estate valued at a minimum of US$270,000 (sole ownership) or US$350,000 (joint ownership). The property must be held for a minimum of 5 years. Grenada is the only Caribbean CBI nation that also offers access to the US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, making it uniquely attractive for investors targeting the American market.
National Transformation Fund (NTF) Donation
Applicants may make a non-refundable contribution of a minimum US$235,000 (single applicant) to the NTF. Family applications of up to four persons require US$240,000. Additional dependents: US$25,000 each. Processing fees and due diligence charges apply separately.
