Comprehensive Programme Dossier & Legal Framework

Official Statutory Basis:

Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act, 2013 (Act No. 15 of 2013), as amended by Statutory Rules and Orders (SRO 2023 / SRO 2024).

Authority: Government Gazette of Grenada — Investment Migration Agency (IMA Grenada).

Grenada offers one of the most distinguished sovereign citizenship programmes in the world, distinguished by its unique status as the only Caribbean Citizenship by Investment nation holding an active Bilateral Trade and Navigation Treaty with the United States, granting citizens the ability to obtain the prestigious U.S. E-2 Treaty Investor Visa.

Administered by the statutory Investment Migration Agency (IMA Grenada), the programme provides direct, irrevocable lifetime citizenship to reputable international investors with visa-free travel to over 145 countries, including the United Kingdom, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Schengen Area.

Parliamentary Act

Statutory Framework & Sovereign Legal Basis

Grenada's Citizenship by Investment Programme is grounded in Act No. 15 of 2013, passed by the Parliament of Grenada. The legislation provides clear statutory authority to the IMA and the Minister responsible for Citizenship to grant full naturalization to qualifying applicants who pass comprehensive due diligence and contribute statutory capital to the National Transformation Fund (NTF) or approved real estate developments.

Grenada is renowned for its stringent four-tiered vetting structure, maintaining cooperation with the Joint Regional Communications Centre (JRCC), Interpol, and leading international investigative agencies to protect the sovereign integrity of its passport.

U.S. Treaty Corridor

The United States E-2 Investor Visa Advantage

A major institutional advantage of Grenadian citizenship is Grenada's status as a treaty country under the United States Immigration and Nationality Act. Grenadian citizens who establish substantial residence or business ties can apply for a 5-year renewable U.S. E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, allowing the primary applicant, spouse, and children under 21 to live, work, and attend school anywhere in the United States.

Under the U.S. AMIGOS Act of 2022, economic citizens must demonstrate continuous domicile in Grenada for at least 3 years prior to filing an E-2 petition, providing a fully legal, highly cost-effective alternative to the U.S. EB-5 immigrant visa.

Strategic U.S. Business Access

E-2 visa holders can establish or purchase an operating American enterprise with an investment typically between USD 100,000 and USD 250,000, avoiding the multi-year backlogs and higher capital thresholds of EB-5.
