Grenada Citizenship By Investment
The Grenada Citizenship By Investment (CBI) Programme is one of the oldest in the world, launched in 1997. More than 20 years of programme operation means streamlined processes and compliance with the time frames for all procedures. Grenada has one of the most popular citizenship programmes.
Grenada is the only Caribbean country which holds the coveted E-2 visa treaty with the US, allowing citizens to apply for a non-immigrant visa and reside there.
The Grenada passport allows visiting China without a visa for 30 days a year. Grenada citizens can get a US Entrepreneur Visa - E2. There is no minimum amount of business investment for this type of visa. At the same time, the investor can freely enter and leave the USA and live there with their family.

Purchase of government‑approved real estate
$220,000+
The investor can choose a property from a government-approved list, which includes hotels and condominiums. Grenada offers to buy a share in a project, a villa or an apartment. Share participation requires the lowest investment sum of $220,000. After 5 years, the property can be sold, and the investment returned.
The investor can earn income by renting out the property. If the investor participates in the project, they get half the income. A management company deals with organisational and technical matters. If the investor has bought an apartment or cottage, they can live in it themselves or rent it out.
According to NoorCo Consultancy Expert, renting out tourist properties in Grenada generates between 2 and 5% yearly yield.
The holiday season lasts all year round, so there is always a demand for property, and rental prices do not fluctuate.
