Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program Overview
Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Program is a well established and highly regarded Caribbean initiative that allows qualified foreign investors and their families to obtain full Grenadian citizenship through a strategic economic contribution. Launched in 2013, the program is designed to stimulate sustainable national development while offering investors enhanced global mobility and long term security. Applicants may qualify either by making a contribution to the National Transformation Fund or by investing in government approved real estate projects. Known as the “Spice Isle of the Caribbean,” Grenada combines natural beauty, political stability and a business friendly environment with one of the most strategically valuable citizenship programs in the region.
