GRENADA · ST. GEORGE'S
Before complete government, agent, document, and advisory costs.
Age, dependency, and relationship are confirmed case by case.
Application, maintenance, and actual residence are assessed separately.
No time estimate is an approval or delivery guarantee.
Particularly suitable when …
For families and entrepreneurs seeking established Caribbean citizenship, international mobility, and a long-term, planable U.S. E-2 option.
Another route may be more appropriate when …
If the only objective is an immediate move to the United States, a direct U.S. route is generally clearer.
01 · YOUR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE
What Grenada can change for your family in practical terms.
Value does not come from a passport stored in a safe. It comes from the new citizenship performing a defined role in your mobility, family, and business planning.
Greater global mobility
The IMA describes access to 69% of the world; your specific destination countries remain what matters.
One solution for the family
A spouse, qualifying children, parents, grandparents, and in some cases siblings can be planned together.
An additional place to belong
Citizenship creates a permanent legal connection; the IMA requires no travel for the CBI application itself.
A potential U.S. pathway
Grenada is an E-2 treaty country. Domicile and a separate qualifying U.S. investment case remain distinct requirements.
The passport is not the objective. The objective is greater freedom to act in the decisions ahead.
02 · PROGRAM & INVESTMENT
2 routes. One citizenship. Different economic logic.
National Transformation Fund, approved project, or case-specific significant investment The right route depends on cost clarity, capital commitment, family structure, and long-term utility within your overall architecture.
National Transformation Fund
USD 235,000 contributionOne-time nonrefundable contribution covering the principal applicant and up to three qualifying dependents at the published base level.
NBF decision lensThe most direct route when cost clarity and a lean investment process matter more than capital preservation.
Approved project
from USD 270,000 asset + USD 50,000The participation route begins at USD 270,000 plus at least USD 50,000 government contribution and a published five-year holding period.
NBF decision lensFor clients who consciously want an asset and independently review project, operator, distributions, liquidity, and exit.

Plus at least USD 50,000 government contribution.
Per person; nonrefundable.
Age-dependent.
Per person age 17+, with others case-dependent.
Official live pages differ; written confirmation required.
OFFICIAL DATA NOTE
IMA pages currently state different due-diligence figures. We do not treat the difference as immaterial; the current fee is confirmed in writing before any calculation.
03 · GRENADA'S DISTINCT U.S. OPTION
From Grenadian citizenship to a potential E-2 application basis.
Grenada's E-2 relationship can be a meaningful strategic advantage—when all three stages are planned realistically from the outset.
Acquire Grenadian citizenship
Complete CBI under current law and due-diligence standards.
Establish qualifying domicile
Investment-citizenship applicants generally need three years of domicile before relying on treaty nationality.
Build a separate U.S. investment case
The E-2 requires a substantial, active, at-risk U.S. business investment and a separate application.
NBF ASSESSMENT
Grenada may be particularly valuable when you accept domicile and a future operating U.S. investment as genuine, separate decisions. The passport creates the nationality basis; the E-2 visa remains a separate application.
04 · FAMILY & GENERATIONS
Who is included today determines cost, evidence, and long-term utility.
The IMA identifies spouses, children, parents, grandparents, and siblings as potential dependents. Financial dependency, age, and special fees determine whether inclusion is lawful and sensible.
PersonProgram logicWhat must be clarified first
Spouse
May be included under the program rules in force at the time.
Identity, marriage history, personal screening, and separate due-diligence fees.
Children
Qualifying children may be included according to age and dependency rules.
Document age at submission, education, marital status, and financial dependency.
Parents & grandparents
May qualify under defined age and dependency rules, depending on the program.
Confirm minimum age, actual support, and additional contributions in writing.
Later additions
Newborns, spouses, and other relatives follow separate post-citizenship rules.
Include costs, deadlines, and conditions in the family architecture before the initial application.
05 · FROM SHORTLIST TO PASSPORT
A clearly led process with six decision points.
The IMA states 60 business days from a complete submission, subject to satisfactory due diligence and funds. Document preparation, submission, questions, approval in principle, investment, registration, and passport issuance must be planned together.

06 · THE PASSPORT WITHIN YOUR OVERALL ARCHITECTURE
Turning additional citizenship into additional freedom.
NBF connects citizenship with residence, tax status, banking, and family planning. That is how a product becomes a defensible international structure.
Design tax status deliberately
Citizenship alone does not move tax residence. Residence, domicile, income, and place of management must be planned together.
Prepare bankability
A second passport expands options. Banks still assess UBOs, residence, source of wealth, and transaction profile.
Prioritize travel routes
We assess the destinations that genuinely matter to your life and business—not an abstract passport count.
Plan ahead for the family
Age, dependency, later additions, and transfer to the next generation belong in the target picture before application.
READINESSView eligibility and the typical document package+
Adult principal applicant
The principal applicant must meet the statutory age and legal-capacity requirements.
Lawful, documented funds
Source of wealth and source of funds must align with personal, tax, and business history.
Defensible personal history
Criminal, visa, sanctions, and reputational matters must be disclosed completely and consistently.
Qualifying family relationships
Age, dependency, and relationship are evidenced through official documents and case-specific support.
Identity & civil status
Passports, birth and marriage certificates, and where relevant divorce or custody documents.
Residence & personal history
Proof of address, police clearances, visa history, education, and professional résumé.
Wealth & provenance
Bank statements, tax records, corporate evidence, contracts, and provenance of the specific investment.
Health & program forms
Medical evidence, photographs, powers of attorney, declarations, and route-specific forms.
07 · CLEAR ANSWERS
What you need to know before deciding on Grenada.
Precise answers to questions that sales brochures often treat too briefly.
Is Grenada automatically the least expensive route for me?+
No. NTF contribution from USD 235,000 states only a qualifying minimum. Family, due diligence, government fees, agent, documents, and strategic advice determine the actual capital requirement.
Does citizenship automatically create a new tax residence?+
No. Tax residence depends on physical presence, domicile, income, place of management, assets, and the rules of the jurisdictions concerned.
Does a second passport guarantee a bank account?+
No. Banks still assess original citizenship, residence, UBO structure, source of wealth, business activity, and transaction profile.
Can I apply directly to the government?+
Generally not. Formal submission is made through an officially Authorized Agent; NBF leads the target, comparison, and coordination.
Are processing times guaranteed?+
No. Official target of 60 business days; plan the full matter as a complete project is a planning indication. Completeness, countries of origin, interviews, and enhanced due diligence may change the timeline.
