Grenada is a member of the British Commonwealth and obtained independence from Britain in 1974.
The economy of the nation is tiny yet open, with a strong tourism sector. Mace and nutmeg, which Grenada produces in greater quantities than any other country in the world (behind Indonesia), are its main export products.
With the enactment of the Citizenship by Investment Act, 2013, the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program was once again made available.
Holding a Grenadian passport allows you to visit 145 countries, including major business and leisure hubs like China, the UK, and the Schengen Area of Europe, without a need for a visa.
Only Grenada, out of all the Caribbean nations, has a citizenship procedure that is in compliance with the USA’s E-2 Investor Visa treaty. This means that Grenada’s nationals can apply for a a nonimmigrant visa.
A substantial financial commitment to the nation or the purchase of a qualifying asset with government approval are the two requirements for candidates to the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program.
The applicants and their families will receive citizenship in return, subject to a rigorous screening and due diligence procedure that includes extensive background checks.
