Frequently Asked Questions

- The minimum investment is USD 235,000 as a non-refundable contribution to the National Transformation Fund (NTF) for a single applicant or a family of up to four. The real estate route requires a minimum purchase of USD 270,000 in a government-approved development, held for at least 5 years.
- How long does it take to get Grenada citizenship?
- Grenada citizenship by investment typically takes 3 to 6 months to process from submission of a complete application. There is no requirement to visit Grenada at any stage of the application. Passports are issued shortly after citizenship approval.
- Does Grenada citizenship give access to the US E-2 Investor Visa?
- Yes. Grenada is the only Caribbean nation with an E-2 Treaty Investor Visa agreement with the United States. Grenadian citizens can apply for a US E-2 visa, which allows them to live and operate a business in the United States on a renewable non-immigrant basis. This makes Grenada citizenship uniquely valuable for investors seeking a pathway to the US.
- How many countries can I visit with a Grenada passport?
- The Grenada passport provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 148 destinations (Henley Passport Index, October 2026), including the United Kingdom, the Schengen Area, China, and Singapore. The E-2 treaty with the United States adds further strategic value beyond standard visa-free access.
