Explore Grenada citizenship by investment with Tandem: understand the routes, prepare your questions and consider how citizenship and property fit your family’s plans.
Grenada CBI: the facts to establish first
Use the current route and your family’s circumstances to build the plan, not a passport headline or a promised approval date.
Two official routes
The National Transformation Fund contribution starts at US$235,000. Qualifying shared investment starts at US$270,000, with fees additional. See the cost distinctions.
Family and documents
Confirm each person’s eligibility and the evidence needed before preparing the file. Start with the document and interview guide.
Separate the timelines
Document preparation, bank checks and government review are different stages. Understand the application process before budgeting time.
Residence and domicile
Citizenship requirements are not US visa requirements. The counsel-approved E-2 article explains the three-year domicile rule and why individual legal advice matters.
Existing citizenship
Check the nationality rules of every country whose citizenship you hold. Keeping your existing passport is a separate part of the decision.
Compare countries carefully
Grenada is not every Caribbean programme. Use our Caribbean citizenship comparison to frame the country-specific questions.

How Tandem helps.
When citizenship and real estate overlap, the asset is only half the decision. Eligibility, timing, approvals, ownership structure, and eventual resale all matter, and they need thinking through before an application is made.
We have worked inside the Citizenship by Investment industry for more than 13 years. Tandem was Grenada’s first Marketing Agent and is now its oldest.
- Caribbean CBI pathway coordination
- Qualifying real estate alignment
- Discussion of different paths to citizenship and quotations for your family
- Introductions to licensed stakeholders
- Due diligence coordination
- Family and mobility considerations
- Through citizenship and beyond
Tandem does not guarantee citizenship outcomes. All applications, approvals, and legal matters are subject to the relevant government authorities, licensed professionals, and due diligence processes.
Citizenship planning should start before the application.
If a second citizenship, qualifying real estate, or Grenada route is being discussed in your family, book a private conversation and get the current picture.
Contribution, shared investment or whole ownership?
There are two official routes but three practical ways to budget. The figures below come from our published Grenada citizenship cost guide. They are not interchangeable thresholds or personalised quotations.
| Practical option | Starting figure in our cost guide | What it does not include |
|---|---|---|
| NTF contribution | US$235,000 contribution | Government and other applicable fees |
| Qualifying shared investment | US$270,000 investment | Additional costs; the guide’s couple example is around US$360,000 in total |
| Whole ownership | US$400,000 current market example, not a statutory minimum | Additional costs; the guide’s couple example is around US$516,000 in total |
No investment recovery or citizenship outcome is guaranteed. Request a written breakdown of the contribution or property, government charges, professional fees, taxes and third-party costs.
How the Grenada application fits together
- Set the objective and route. Confirm the family circumstances, approved investment where relevant and the agents’ roles.
- Prepare a complete file. Follow the passport requirements and source-of-funds checklist supplied for your application.
- Complete checks and submission. The agents review the file, the bank completes its checks and the licensed local agent submits to the IMA.
- Respond to review and interview requirements. Due diligence and government decisions remain with the authorities.
- Complete the approved route. Follow the required payments, citizenship certificate and passport issuance steps for your file.

The Context
Why families want a second citizenship.
Our CBI clients come from all over the world: the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and increasingly from North America and Europe. The reasons differ, but the theme is the same: options.
A note on numbers. Visa-free travel lists, investment thresholds, and processing times are set by governments and change from time to time. We would rather give you the current picture in conversation.
Travel
A Caribbean passport opens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to a long list of countries. The exact list moves with diplomacy, so we keep information to clients current.
A plan B
For many families, a second citizenship is insurance: somewhere safe to go, and the legal right to be there, whatever happens at home.
Family
Spouses and children can usually be included in one application, and in many programs parents can too. Citizenship typically passes to future generations.
The US E-2 route
Grenada is the only CBI country in the Caribbean holding an E-2 treaty with the United States. Qualifying citizens can apply for an investor visa to live and run a business there.
Business and banking
A second citizenship can make travel for work simpler and open alternative banking and company structuring options.
Education
Citizenship can widen school and university options for children, in the region and beyond.
Questions We Hear
Asked often. Answered plainly.
Grenada has two official routes: a contribution to the National Transformation Fund or investment in an approved project. Shared investment and whole ownership are practical options within the investment route, not separate statutory routes. Compare the contribution, property price and additional fees before choosing.
The published National Transformation Fund contribution starts at US$235,000, while qualifying shared investment starts at US$270,000. Neither figure is an all-in application price. Government charges, due diligence, professional fees, banking and other costs must be added. Ask for an itemised quote for your actual family.
Family composition changes both eligibility and the total budget. Start by listing everyone you hope to include and their circumstances, rather than assuming a headline family price covers them all. Tandem and the licensed local agent can confirm the current requirements before your application is prepared.
There is no reliable one-size-fits-all completion date. Your preparation, bank checks, source-of-funds evidence, due diligence, interview and government review all affect the sequence. Our application guide explains the stages; obtain a current estimate for your circumstances rather than treating an advertised time as a promise.
Expect identity documents, passports, birth certificates, references, bank information and clear evidence of the source of your funds. The exact checklist depends on your circumstances and family. Read the Grenada passport requirements guide, then work from the current list your agents provide for your application.
The interview is part of the application process, alongside checks of the documents and source of funds. Prepare to explain your circumstances consistently and honestly. The documents and interview guide sets out what to discuss with your agents; follow the current instructions for your own file.
No. The requirements for Grenada citizenship and the requirements for a US visa are separate questions. The counsel-approved E-2 guide explains the three-year domicile rule for relevant investment citizens. Do not treat a citizenship residence statement as permission to skip US immigration advice or an E-2 requirement.
Your existing nationality rules matter as well as Grenada’s rules. Do not assume that permission to hold dual citizenship on one side settles the other side. Our guide to keeping your current citizenship explains the questions to check with the relevant authorities or appropriately qualified advisers before applying.
No. A private home, a holiday property and an approved citizenship investment are not interchangeable. Confirm the specific project, qualifying interest and investment structure before committing. The Grenada CBI real estate guide explains why approved status, total costs, ownership rights and the eventual exit need separate attention.
No. Applications remain subject to government due diligence and approval. A payment, property reservation or agent relationship is not a guarantee. Tandem helps you understand the route and coordinate a complete, honest application with the licensed professionals involved; the relevant authorities make the decision on your file.
