Eligibility for this nationality

American citizens may apply. There is no nationality bar for United States applicants. All applicants undergo due diligence, must show a clean record and must evidence the lawful source of their funds. Confirm the current conditions with the Citizenship by Investment Unit.

Routes

Two routes are commonly described. The first is a nonrefundable contribution to the National Transformation Fund, with a figure from USD 235,000 reported for a main applicant with a small family. The second is an approved real estate investment, with a figure from USD 270,000 reported and a holding period of at least five years.

Treat these as indicative. The Eastern Caribbean states agreed common minimums and rules have been tightening, so confirm the current figures and approved projects with the official authority.

Timeline

Grenada does not require you to live in or visit the country to qualify. Processing times vary with due diligence and application volume. Confirm the current expected timeline with the official authority rather than relying on marketing estimates.

Costs

On top of the qualifying contribution or real estate, expect government processing fees, due diligence fees and your own professional costs. We do not list a fee schedule here because these figures change. Confirm the current charges with the official authority.

What it unlocks

Grenada citizenship provides a passport and the ability to hold a second nationality, since Grenada allows dual citizenship. Grenada also holds a treaty with the United States that can support a nonimmigrant investor visa category, which some applicants value. Confirm any onward benefit independently, because rules and treaty terms change.
