Grenada stands as a prime choice for discerning high-net-worth individuals. Since its revitalization in 2013, the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Programme has attracted the attention of those seeking a second citizenship, especially those with larger families.
Through Grenada’s Programme, successful applicants can attain citizenship and, subsequently, a passport facilitating travel to over 140 countries and territories. Yet, the allure of Grenada extends far beyond its economic and international advantages.
Affectionately known as the “Spice Island” due to its storied history of cultivating and trading spices, Grenada boasts a perpetual tropical climate, enhanced by soothing trade winds that complement its abundant sunshine. Beyond this, Grenada offers a plethora of lifestyle perks, including exceptional healthcare, a robust education system, and a reputation as one of the safest nations in the Caribbean. Its breathtaking scenery, rich biodiversity, delectable cuisine, and welcoming community add to the island’s charm.

Grenadian passports, recognized as CARICOM passports, grant citizens access to over 140 countries and territories worldwide. These biometric documents enhance security and expedite cross-border procedures. Ordinary Grenadian passports have a five-year validity and can be renewed at various official locations.
The passport application process operates independently from the citizenship by investment process and necessitates the submission of specific documents, including a certified copy of the applicant’s Certificate of Registration, issued at the conclusion of the citizenship by investment process.
Whenever Grenada passport holders seek passport renewal due to expiration, they must present their old Grenada passport, which will be invalidated upon issuance of the new one.
Please note that there is a slight increase in the Turn-Around-Time for Application Receipt Letters. The Grenada CIU has advised that due to a recent surge in applications, the Turn-Around-Time (TAT) for issuing Application Receipt Letters will now be 72 working hours.
