We assist applicants based in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait City, Muscat, Manama, as well as across India and Sri Lanka. Our role is to turn a complex citizenship process into a clear, executable plan — and to flag the parts that other advisors quietly skip.
The objective is correctness and long-term security, not a rushed sale. A second citizenship is a serious decision, and it deserves a serious assessment first.
People choose Grenada citizenship in 2026 mainly for its mobility and its unique USA E-2 access, with a passport that currently opens around 140 to 145 destinations visa-free or visa-on-arrival, including China. Among Caribbean programmes it is the only one tied to a US treaty-investor arrangement, which is why it attracts business families looking at the United States as a long-horizon goal.
The trade-off is that the E-2 angle changed. Under the Amigos Act, a person who acquires Grenada citizenship by investment now needs three years of Grenada domicile before qualifying for an E-2 visa — so it is a planned pathway, not a passport you swap for a US business visa overnight. We walk you through whether that horizon fits your goals. Find out where you stand — free assessment.
The honest note. Due diligence on Grenada tightened over 2025, and rejection rates rose to roughly 14 percent from around 8 percent historically — a brief processing pause even occurred in August 2025. We read that as a good sign for serious applicants: a clean, well-documented file is now what gets through, and that is exactly the kind of file we prepare. If your background needs careful handling, the honest conversation happens in your first session, not after a rejected application.
Grenada offers two main routes: a non-refundable donation to the National Transformation Fund, and a purchase in a government-approved real-estate project held for five years and resellable to the next eligible buyer. The donation route is the simpler, faster option; the real-estate route suits investors who want a recoverable asset rather than a contribution.
Both routes cover a main applicant and qualifying dependants, with a separate due-diligence fee and government fee per applicant. Children under 17 are not charged a due-diligence fee, while spouses and dependent parents or grandparents aged 17 and over are. We keep the exact figures to your assessment because the right route depends on your family size and goals — we confirm fees after assessment, never as a generic quote.
Grenada citizenship by investment takes around seven months on average in 2026, with cases generally ranging from four to nine months depending on file quality and due-diligence depth. An invitation-only fast track of roughly three to four months exists for select applicants, but most people should plan around the standard timeline.
The stages you influence most are document readiness and a clean source-of-funds trail — those decide whether your file moves smoothly or stalls in review. A mandatory interview applies to applicants and dependants aged 17 and over, but there is no residence or visit requirement for the citizenship itself. Preparation is what separates competitive applications — and preparation is assessable. Message us on WhatsApp.

Schengen mobility is current, not guaranteed. The European Commission's Eighth Visa Suspension Mechanism report signals real pressure on all Caribbean citizenship programmes. Schengen visa-free access for Grenada is active today, but it is subject to EU policy and is not something anyone can promise long-term. ETIAS pre-authorisation is expected from late 2026, and Vanuatu's EU revocation is the precedent we keep in view. We frame European travel as currently available and subject to change — never as a lifetime guarantee.
The E-2 pathway carries a three-year domicile condition. Under the Amigos Act, investment-acquired Grenada citizens must show three years of Grenada domicile before qualifying for a US E-2 visa. Certain people are exempt — prior E-visa holders, those who gained citizenship by birth, marriage or residence, and a later-registered spouse. As of early 2026 no E-2 refusal has been reported solely on this rule, but "instant E-2 via donation" is no longer accurate, and we will not pitch it that way.
India does not allow dual citizenship. An Indian national who acquires Grenada citizenship must renounce Indian citizenship and surrender the Indian passport, and should then consider OCI eligibility. Funding the investment from India is governed by the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) caps, so the remittance route needs to be planned first. We raise this on day one — not after you have committed.
This is general information, not financial, tax, or legal advice. Remittances are governed by RBI regulations under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme and your bank's compliance requirements — consult a qualified chartered accountant or your authorised dealer bank before moving funds. OCI is not citizenship; it is a long-term status, not a dual-citizenship substitute.
All criteria and figures are set by the relevant governments and are subject to change; verified against official sources as of the date shown.

Yes. The programme is open and accepting applications as of June 2026. A brief processing pause in August 2025 is over, and the programme now operates with tightened due diligence, which has pushed rejection rates to around 14 percent — so a clean, well-documented file matters more than ever.
Grenada is the only Caribbean citizenship with a USA E-2 treaty arrangement, but under the Amigos Act, investment-acquired citizens must show three years of Grenada domicile before qualifying. So it is a long-horizon pathway with a condition attached, not an instant US business visa. We will assess honestly whether that fits your timeline.
No. There is no residence requirement and no visit requirement for the citizenship itself. A mandatory interview applies to applicants and dependants aged 17 and over, but it can be arranged without relocating. This makes Grenada practical for UAE-based and India-based applicants who cannot move.
No. Schengen visa-free access is currently available but subject to EU policy and not guaranteed long-term. The EU's Eighth Visa Suspension Mechanism report applies pressure to all Caribbean programmes, and ETIAS pre-authorisation is expected from late 2026. We frame European travel as current and subject to change.
India does not allow dual citizenship, so an Indian national must renounce Indian citizenship and surrender the passport to take up Grenada citizenship, then consider OCI eligibility. Funding from India is governed by RBI Liberalised Remittance Scheme caps. We flag all of this before you commit, and recommend speaking to a chartered accountant on the financial side.
