## 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:

| --- | --- |
| 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

## 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

Grenada's citizenship-by-investment programme is the only Caribbean passport that qualifies holders for an E-2 investor visa to the United States, making it particularly valuable for clients with US business interests. Applications are processed within three to five months. [View our full CBI programme comparison](https://www.mirabelloconsultancy.com/best-citizenship-by-investment-programs).

Frequently asked questions

## Frequently asked questions

### 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.
