High-level guidance for investors, entrepreneurs and families exploring Grenadian citizenship through the National Transformation Fund or an approved project investment route.
Useful if you are unsure whether Grenada CBI is suitable for your family, investment budget and due diligence profile.
Grenada Citizenship by Investment is an official citizenship programme for eligible investors and qualifying family members. The programme allows applicants to seek Grenadian citizenship through a qualifying economic contribution or approved project investment, subject to strict due diligence, document checks and Government approval. IMA Grenada Circular No. 2 of 2026 defers commencement of the residence requirement until the regional regulator is operational and participating states agree and announce an effective date. Check the latest official notice before applying.
The route may appeal to internationally mobile families who want second citizenship planning, Caribbean citizenship, family inclusion, long-term mobility options and access to a structured programme with recognised investment routes. It should not be treated as a simple passport purchase or a casual travel visa application.
Immigration Visa Expert can help you understand whether Grenada is suitable, compare the available routes, review family eligibility, identify source-of-funds issues and prepare you for the authorised agent process.
These points give a practical, high-level view before you decide whether to request a detailed Grenada CBI assessment.
The right Grenada route depends on your budget, family size, timeline, risk profile, investment preference and whether you want a contribution route or an asset-linked approved project option.
The main applicant must normally be at least 18 years old, in good health, able to make the qualifying investment and able to show that the source of funds is legal. The application must also pass the programmeu2019s character, background and due diligence requirements.
The final checklist depends on your nationality, family members, investment route and source of funds. At a high level, applicants should expect to prepare personal, family, medical, police, financial and investment-route evidence.
The process is structured and should be planned before selecting an investment route. Applications must move through authorised agent channels and are subject to document review, due diligence and final Government decision-making.
Grenada CBI can be useful for families because eligible dependants may be included where they meet the programme requirements. The family structure must be reviewed before submission because it affects eligibility, cost, due diligence, documents and route suitability.
The official fee table should always be checked at the point of application. Current official guidance refers to an NTF contribution from USD 235,000 and approved-project investment figures that can vary by investment structure, together with government, due diligence, processing, interview, agent and professional costs.
Our support focuses on early suitability assessment, family eligibility, due diligence risk review, source-of-funds preparation, investment-route comparison and coordination with the appropriate professional channel.
