- Government fee: USD 100 for a standard Grenada CBI passport renewal — one of the most competitive renewal fees across Caribbean citizenship programmes.
- Total cost range: USD 300–800 when professional service fees (USD 500–1,500) and document preparation are factored in; Mirabello Consultancy provides a transparent, itemised quote upfront.
- Processing time halved in 2025: Standard renewals now complete in approximately 6–8 weeks, down from the previous 3–4 month timeline.
- US E-2 Treaty Investor visa: Grenada passport holders must maintain an unexpired passport to preserve E-2 status; an expired CBI passport can jeopardise active US business operations.
- ECCIRA founding member: Grenada is the headquarter country of the Caribbean harmonised immigration framework established December 2025, with full implementation expected mid-2026.
- Remote renewal available: No travel to Grenada is required — Mirabello Consultancy manages the entire renewal remotely, including from our Dubai office for GCC-based clients.
Grenada Passport Renewal Fees 2026: Complete CBI Cost Guide
Grenada's Citizenship by Investment (CBI) passport requires renewal every five years — one of the shortest validity periods among Caribbean programmes. Understanding the full cost breakdown, timeline, and process is essential for maintaining your travel document and preserving valuable benefits, including access to the US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa.
This guide covers every fee, document requirement, and step involved in renewing your Grenada CBI passport in 2026, whether you are based in the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe, or anywhere else worldwide.
Grenada CBI Passport Renewal Fees: Full Breakdown
| Fee Category | Amount (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Government passport fee (adult) | $250–$350 | Varies by application channel |
| Government passport fee (child under 18) | $250 | Same 5-year validity |
| Legal/agent processing fee | $455 | If using an authorised agent |
| Courier delivery fee | $200 | International delivery via secure courier |
| Expedited processing surcharge | $50 | 7 business days turnaround |
| Early renewal surcharge | $300+ | If more than 6 months before expiry (e.g. no blank pages) |
| Total estimated cost (adult, standard) | $700–$1,005 | Government + legal + courier |
Grenada's renewal fees are moderate compared to other Caribbean CBI programmes. However, the five-year passport validity means you will renew more frequently than holders of ten-year passports from Dominica or St. Kitts and Nevis.
Why Grenada Passport Renewal Matters More Than Most
Grenada is the only Caribbean CBI nation with a US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa agreement. An expired Grenada passport can disrupt your E-2 visa status, business operations in the United States, and global travel plans. Timely renewal is not just administrative — it is strategically critical.
Key benefits protected by a valid Grenada passport include:
- Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to approximately 147 destinations
- Eligibility for the US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa
- Schengen Area access (up to 90 days per 180-day period)
- United Kingdom visa-free entry (up to 6 months)
- China visa-free entry (30 days)
Required Documents for Grenada Passport Renewal
Before initiating your renewal, gather the following documents:
- Completed and signed passport renewal application form
- Two recent passport-sized photographs (white background, 45mm x 35mm)
- Current or expired Grenada passport
- Birth certificate (original or certified copy)
- Certificate of Naturalisation (for CBI citizens)
- Marriage certificate or deed poll (if name has changed since last passport)
All documents must be in English. Non-English documents require certified translation and apostille.
Step-by-Step Renewal Process
Step 1: Prepare Your Application (2–3 Days)
Download the official application form from the Grenada CBI website or obtain it from your nearest Grenadian diplomatic mission. Complete all fields accurately — errors cause delays.
Step 2: Submit Your Application
You have three submission options:
- In Grenada: Submit directly to the Passport Office in St. George's
- Abroad via embassy/consulate: Contact the nearest Grenadian diplomatic mission
- Through an authorised agent: Firms like Mirabello Consultancy handle the entire process remotely
Step 3: Biometric Collection
Grenada issues biometric e-passports. Your fingerprints, photograph, and signature are captured digitally. This may require an in-person appointment at a Grenadian embassy or designated biometric collection point.
Step 4: Processing and Collection
Standard processing takes 2–4 weeks. Expedited processing (7 business days) is available for an additional USD 50. Your new passport can be collected in person or delivered by secure international courier.
Processing Times: Standard vs Expedited
| Processing Type | Timeline | Additional Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Standard processing | 2–4 weeks | None |
| Expedited processing | 7 business days | USD 50 |
| Via consulate abroad | 4–6 weeks | Courier fees apply |
We recommend starting the renewal process at least six months before your passport expires, particularly if you hold an active US E-2 visa or have upcoming international travel.
Renewing from Abroad: What You Need to Know
Grenada CBI passport holders can renew from anywhere in the world without visiting Grenada. The process works through:
- Grenadian embassies and consulates in Washington DC, London, and other cities
- Authorised CBI agents who liaise directly with the Passport Office
- Professional advisory firms such as Mirabello Consultancy, which manages the full process from Switzerland or Dubai
If you are based in the Gulf region, your nearest option is typically the Grenadian Honorary Consulate. Mirabello's Dubai office can coordinate your renewal without you leaving the UAE.
ECCIRA Changes Coming in 2026
Grenada hosts the headquarters of the ECCIRA (Eastern Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Regional Authority), which will introduce significant changes expected from mid-2026:
- 30-day physical presence requirement: CBI citizens must spend 30 days in their country of citizenship within the first 5 years (minimum 5 days in year one)
- Mandatory biometric enrolment: All CBI citizens must provide biometrics at renewal
- Increased due diligence fees: Expected to rise to USD 2,500–3,000
- Tiered passport system: Initial 5-year passport, upgraded to 10-year after completing physical presence and biometric requirements
These changes have been postponed from their original April 2026 date but are expected to take effect by mid-2026. Current rules remain in force until then.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Based on our experience managing hundreds of CBI passport renewals, these are the most frequent errors:
- Waiting until the last minute: Processing delays can leave you without a valid travel document
- Incorrect photographs: Specifications differ from US or EU passport photos
- Missing Certificate of Naturalisation: CBI citizens must include this document
- Not accounting for E-2 visa timeline: Your E-2 visa is tied to your Grenada passport — plan accordingly
- Ignoring early renewal surcharges: Renewing more than 6 months early incurs an additional USD 300+
