Grenada.
A Caribbean passport with a door to the US.
The Caribbean citizenship programme whose citizens can apply for the US E-2 Treaty Investor visa. From USD 235,000, with spouse, children and parents eligible as dependants.
Key benefits
US E-2 eligibility
Grenadian citizens can apply for the US E-2 Treaty Investor visa, subject to standard US immigration criteria.
Wide travel access

Family-inclusive
Spouse, children, and parents can be included as dependants, subject to statutory age and dependency rules.
Dual citizenship
Grenada permits dual citizenship. Whether you retain your current passport depends entirely on your home country's laws.
Investment after approval
The principal contribution is typically paid only once written approval-in-principle is granted.
Clear eligibility
Applicants must be 18 or older, of confirmed good character, and able to substantiate the lawful source of funds.
Who it suits
Who this suits
- Applicants who want US E-2 eligibility without a lengthy US residency route.

Frequently asked questions
There is currently no mandatory stay requirement prior to or during the application process, though physical presence updates remain subject to regional treaty adjustments.
