Grenada is the only Caribbean CBI country with an E-2 Treaty Investor Visa agreement with the United States, enabling Grenadian citizens to apply to live and work in the US.
Grenada's Citizenship by Investment Programme stands out from other Caribbean programmes due to its unique E-2 Treaty Investor Visa agreement with the United States. Grenadian citizens can apply for an E-2 visa to live and work in the United States — a significant advantage not available through any other Caribbean CBI programme. The Grenada passport provides access to approximately 145 countries visa-free, including the Schengen zone and UK.
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa allows Grenadian citizens to invest in a US business and obtain a renewable US visa allowing them to live and work in the United States. Key points:
The programme requires due diligence and an interview for all adults (17+). Total processing time is typically 6–8 months from complete application submission.
Best suited for individuals and families who want a Caribbean passport primarily for its US E-2 Treaty access, or for strong Schengen/UK mobility. The E-2 route makes Grenada particularly attractive for entrepreneurs and business owners who want a pathway to reside and operate in the United States.
