Overview

Grenada, known as the “Spice Island” of the Caribbean, offers far more than pristine beaches and lush rainforests. With a population of just over 110,000, this stable, English-speaking Commonwealth nation has emerged as one of the most respected citizenship-by-investment jurisdictions in the world. It maintains strong diplomatic and trade ties, particularly with the United States, China, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.
‍
Grenada's economy is driven by tourism, agriculture, education, and a growing offshore services sector. It is home to a U.S.-accredited medical university and offers a business-friendly environment with no foreign income, capital gains, or inheritance taxes. Its Citizenship by Investment Program is known for efficiency, confidentiality, and access, making Grenada a key destination for investors seeking global mobility and strategic benefits.

Why Grenada?

Grenadian citizenship offers unmatched flexibility for investors seeking a second passport, geographic diversification, and access to the U.S. through the E-2 Treaty Visa. With visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 145 countries, including the Schengen Area, UK, China, Russia, and Singapore, Grenada is uniquely positioned among Caribbean CBI countries.
Unlike most other CBI jurisdictions, Grenada has an active E-2 Treaty with the United States, allowing its citizens to apply for a renewable U.S. investor visa—a pathway not available through any other Caribbean passport. With a quick and structured process, no residency requirement, and family inclusion options, Grenada is ideal for those seeking mobility, security, and U.S. market access through a cost-effective and well-established route.
