Grenada Citizenship by Investment Requirements and Costs 2026: Updated Guide

Last updated: March 2026

Grenada's Citizenship by Investment programme remains one of the most strategically valuable in the world, offering the only Caribbean CBI passport with a US E-2 investor visa treaty. Following the July 2024 price standardisation under the Caribbean Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), costs have changed significantly. This updated guide from Mirabello Consultancy provides the definitive breakdown of every requirement, cost, and fee for Grenada CBI in 2026.

What Are the Investment Requirements for Grenada CBI in 2026?

Grenada CBI offers two primary investment routes, each leading to full citizenship and a Grenadian passport with 147 visa-free destinations and E-2 treaty access:

Route 1: National Transformation Fund (NTF) — From $235,000

The NTF is a non-refundable contribution to Grenada's economic development fund. It is the most popular route due to its simplicity and predictable total cost:

NTF Contribution Schedule 2026
Applicant Type NTF Amount (USD)
Single applicant$235,000
Family of up to 4$235,000
Each additional dependant beyond 4$25,000

The NTF contribution increased from $150,000 (single) / $200,000 (family of 4) to a unified $235,000 effective July 1, 2024, under the Caribbean MOA price standardisation agreed by all five Caribbean CBI nations.

Route 2: Approved Real Estate Investment — From $270,000

Purchase of government-approved real estate, primarily luxury resort developments:

  • Minimum investment: $270,000 (same regardless of family size)
  • Holding period: 5 years minimum before resale is permitted
  • Rental yields: typically 4-5% annually through hotel management programmes
  • Resale option: property can be resold to another CBI applicant after the holding period
  • Government fees: additional to the property purchase price (see below)

In addition to the NTF contribution or real estate investment, all applicants pay the following government fees:

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

To qualify for Grenada CBI, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Age: minimum 18 years for the main applicant
  • Clean criminal record: comprehensive background checks conducted by IMA and international due diligence firms
  • Good health: medical examination required
  • Legitimate source of funds: documented evidence of the lawful origin of investment capital
  • No net worth minimum: unlike some programmes, Grenada does not impose a minimum net worth requirement beyond the investment amount
  • Online interview: mandatory for all applicants

Eligible Dependants

Grenada has one of the most inclusive dependant policies in the Caribbean CBI space:

  • Spouse or partner
  • Children up to age 30 — unmarried and financially dependent
  • Parents and grandparents aged 55+ — financially dependent. Parents-in-law also eligible
  • Unmarried siblings aged 18+ — Grenada is one of the few CBI programmes allowing sibling inclusion

Prohibited and Restricted Nationalities

  • Absolute prohibition: Russian and Belarusian nationals
  • Conditional eligibility: nationals of Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Yemen may qualify if they emigrated before the age of majority AND maintained 10+ years permanent residence in an approved jurisdiction (Canada, UK, Schengen, USA, Australia, NZ, Saudi Arabia, or UAE)

What Post-Citizenship Obligations Exist?

Grenada imposes minimal post-citizenship obligations compared to other Caribbean programmes:

  • No residency requirement: you never need to visit or live in Grenada
  • Passport renewal: adult passports valid for 10 years; renewal is administrative and does not require re-investment
  • Real estate holding: if you chose the real estate route, the property must be held for a minimum of 5 years
  • Dual citizenship: fully permitted — no need to renounce existing nationality

Frequently Asked Questions About Grenada CBI Costs and Requirements

Has the Grenada CBI Price Increased in 2024-2026?

Yes. The NTF contribution increased to $235,000 (from $150,000 single / $200,000 family) effective July 1, 2024, under the Caribbean MOA price standardisation. This brought Grenada's pricing in line with other Caribbean programmes. The real estate minimum also increased to $270,000.

Is Grenada CBI Worth the Investment?

For investors targeting the US market, absolutely. The E-2 treaty alone justifies the investment — no other Caribbean programme offers this. Combined with 147 visa-free destinations, no residency requirement, and family inclusion, Grenada offers exceptional value for its price point.

How Long Does Grenada CBI Processing Take?

Approximately 6 months from application submission to passport issuance. This is significantly faster than the previous 12-month average, thanks to IMA administrative reforms and digital case management systems introduced in 2025.

Can I Add Dependants After Obtaining Citizenship?

Yes. Additional dependants (such as a new spouse or newborn children) can be added to the application after citizenship is granted, subject to additional due diligence and fees.

What Is the Difference Between NTF and Real Estate Routes?

The NTF is a non-refundable donation — simpler, no property management, predictable cost. Real estate offers a tangible asset with potential rental yields (4-5%) but requires a 5-year holding period and ongoing management. Most investors choose NTF for its simplicity unless they specifically want Caribbean property exposure.
