Grenada Citizenship by Investment
A powerful Caribbean passport eligible for the US E-2 investor visa.
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.

What is the application difficulty and success rate of this program?
As long as the applicant has a clean background (no criminal record, no international sanctions) and can provide proof of source of funds that fits the local immigration logic, under the gatekeeping of a professional team, the success rate is generally extremely high.
After getting the residency card, can I look for a job locally?
This depends on the specific visa type. Investment or "Non-Lucrative" residencies usually absolutely prohibit entering the local labor market; while "High-Talent/Professional" or "Open Work Permit" green cards allow you to freely choose employment locally.
Is there a risk of policy changes or price increases?
With immigration policies, it's always "apply early, benefit early." As countries in Europe and the Americas tighten immigration quotas, rising thresholds and higher requirements are a global trend. It is recommended to decisively lock in a quota during the old policy window.
