GRENADA

Grenada, known as the ‘Isle of Spice’, is one of the most magnificent islands in the West Indies. Unspoilt and exotic, it astounds visitors with its wildly jagged mountain peaks, hidden coves, spice plantations, and lush verdant rainforests. Its beaches are idyllic, with white or golden sand, palm trees, and the delicate aroma of the island’s native spices. In addition to its scenery, Grenada offers culture, fun, and friendliness typical of the authentic Caribbean life, making Grenada the perfect place in which to live, work and play. With an idyllic climate, a year-round cool ocean breezes and an average temperature of ranging between 23° and 28° C, Grenada is a safe and unspoilt destination. Grenada’s population is highly educated and has a very high literacy rate. St George’s University hosts 6,000 students from over 140 countries and offers faculties in medicine and veterinary science. Grenada has a well-known, stable and established investment environment.

As an applicant for citizenship, you must be at least 18 years of age, of good character, without a criminal record, and able and willing to make the required contribution. Presently, there are two qualifying investments: a contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund starting at USD 100,000 for a single applicant, or the purchase of authorised property valued at least USD 200,000. The total cost of the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme will be made up of the contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund or of the investment in authorised real estate, plus fees relating to the processing of the application. Some fees apply to both citizenship routes, while others depend on whether you choose to obtain citizenship through the Economic Diversification Fund option or the real estate option. All fees quoted are in US Dollars.

The process of approving a project for the purposes of citizenship by investment begins with the Citizenship by Investment Committee, which reviews viable projects and recommends them to the Minister. The Minister then decides whether to approve the project and publishes the approval in the Gazette. Currently, the vast majority of approved project consists of real estate developments on the island of Grenada. These include luxury hotels, resorts, and villas. Investments in real estate must be maintained for at least 3 years from the date on which citizenship is granted.
