Grenada is focused on Citizenship by Investment, with two routes: a contribution to the National Transformation Fund or an investment in approved real estate, and its passport uniquely supports US E-2 visa applications.
Grenada's main route to status is its Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme. There are two qualifying options. The first is a non-refundable contribution to the National Transformation Fund (NTF), starting from around USD 235,000 for a family of up to four. The second is an investment in approved real estate, where a co-investment in designated projects can start from around USD 150,000, or a higher minimum for sole ownership, held for a set period.
A defining feature is Grenada's E-2 Treaty Investor agreement with the United States. After becoming a Grenadian citizen, you can apply for the US E-2 visa to develop and direct a US business, making Grenada a popular stepping-stone for those wanting an American presence without going straight for a green card.
Neither route requires residence, and the passport offers wide visa-free travel including China. ACME can help you weigh the NTF against real estate and explain the E-2 pathway in detail.
