Grenada Citizenship-by-Investment

 

   The Grenada Citizenship-by-Investment Program was launched in August 2013 when the Grenadian parliament passed the Citizenship by Investment Act, 2013. Henley & Partners was formally mandated in 2016 by the Government of Grenada to revitalize, enhance, and relaunch the program globally.

Grenada passport holders may currently travel visa-free or by visa-on-arrival to 143 destinations including Brazil, China, the UK, and Europe’s Schengen Area, as well as other key business and lifestyle destinations. Furthermore, it is the only Caribbean citizenship-by-investment program that holds an E-2 Investor Visa treaty with the USA. It is also the only investment migration program in the Caribbean that offers successful applicants visa-free access to China.
