Overview

Grants Grenadian citizenship via a US$235,000+ non-refundable donation to the National Transformation Fund, with no residency requirement and E-2 access to the US.

Grenada's CBI programme via the National Transformation Fund (NTF) grants full citizenship for a non-refundable donation of at least US$235,000 to a sovereign development fund. The threshold rose from US$150,000 on 1 July 2024 (Circular No. 2 of 2024). No requirement to visit or reside in Grenada.

The US$235,000 covers a family of up to four; each extra dependant adds US$25,000. Applicants also pay US$5,000 due diligence per person 17+, US$1,500 application, and US$1,500/US$500 processing per adult/child. Files go via an Authorised Local Agent and include an online interview for every applicant 17+; timelines average six to nine months.

This visa is ideal for investor families seeking a fast-track second citizenship with no residency requirement, visa-free mobility to ~148 destinations (Schengen, UK, China), and eligibility for the US E-2 Treaty Investor visa.
