Grenada Citizenship by Investment

Investment pathway

National Transformation Fund contribution, or approved real estate plus a USD 50,000 government fee. Real estate from USD 270,000 (or USD 350,000, depending on the project) in a government-approved project.

Minimum investment

USD 235,000 (NTF contribution, main applicant and up to three family members; officially 'Except for siblings, parents, and grandparents age 55yrs and under', who are charged separately)

Checked against official programme sources

Eligible dependents

Spouse, children under 30, unmarried siblings 18+, parents and grandparents of the applicant and spouse.

Checked against official programme sources

1. 1Contact an Authorised International Marketing Agent; an Authorised Local Agent licensed by the Minister acts for the applicant, and applications cannot be sent directly to the CBI Committee.
2. 2Complete the official forms (Forms 1 to 6), a medical examination, police certificates and legalised English documents; a real estate purchase must first be reserved by sale and purchase agreement.
3. 3The local agent submits the file to the Committee's Executive Office and handles all correspondence; a mandatory interview forms part of the process.
4. 4The government runs due diligence, the Committee makes a recommendation and the Minister decides; the agent receives a letter saying approved, delayed for further processing, or rejected.
5. 5If approved, the applicant pays the National Transformation Fund contribution or completes the real estate purchase; after proof of payment, a certificate of registration confirming citizenship is issued.
6. 6The local agent then uses the certificate of registration to apply for the Grenadian passport on the applicant's behalf.

Steps and timings can change; your advisor confirms the current process before you apply.
