Grenada Citizenship by Investment
Any US E-2 application requires a separate assessment under US law; a Grenadian passport does not itself grant US residence.
Launched in 2013, the Grenada Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program allows investors and their families to obtain Grenadian citizenship by making a qualifying economic contribution to the country. The program aims to boost economic development by attracting foreign investment while providing global investors with a second passport and greater international mobility.
