- Government fee from USD 100 — Grenada's renewal fee is among the most competitive in the Caribbean CBI space; total costs including professional assistance range from approximately USD 600–1,600 per adult.
- 4–6 weeks standard processing — Processing times were halved in 2025 and a 7-business-day expedited option is available for an additional USD 50 surcharge.
- Remote renewal available — No travel to Grenada is required; applications can be submitted through Grenadian embassies, consulates, or an authorised agent abroad.
- US E-2 Treaty access at risk if passport lapses — Grenada is the only Caribbean CBI country with a US E-2 Investor Visa Treaty; E-2 holders must maintain a continuously valid Grenadian passport.
- ECCIRA 30-day presence rule pending — Grenada is the headquarters country of ECCIRA (established December 2025); a proposed physical presence requirement from mid-2026 may affect future renewals — seek guidance now.
- Start at least 6 months before expiry — Grenada passports are valid for 5 years for adults; biometric compliance is mandatory at renewal.
Grenada Passport Renewal 2026: Complete Guide for CBI Holders
Last updated: June 2026
Your Grenada passport is far more than a travel document. For the discerning investor who has completed the Citizenship by Investment programme, it represents a carefully chosen strategic asset — one that unlocks visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 destinations, grants treaty-based entry to the United States under the E-2 Investor Visa, and provides a sovereign second citizenship backed by one of the Caribbean's most respected CBI frameworks. Allowing that asset to lapse through an expired or invalid passport is a risk no CBI holder should take.
This comprehensive guide addresses every dimension of Grenada passport renewal in 2026: the applicable government fees, the step-by-step renewal process, required documents, family renewal procedures, remote renewal options, ECCIRA's emerging regulatory landscape, and the most common mistakes that cause unnecessary delays.
What Is a Grenada CBI Passport Renewal?
A Grenada CBI passport renewal is the formal process by which a naturalised Grenadian citizen — one who obtained citizenship through the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Programme — applies to the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) for a new biometric travel document upon the expiry of their existing passport. Unlike a standard passport renewal for birth citizens, CBI holders must ensure that their citizenship records remain current with the CIU and that all biometric data is captured at renewal.
Grenada passports are issued with a 5-year validity for both adults and children — a shorter cycle than several other Caribbean jurisdictions — meaning that proactive renewal planning is particularly important. For a full overview of the renewal process across all Caribbean CBI countries, visit our passport renewal service page.
Grenada Passport Renewal Fees and Costs in 2026
Understanding the full cost picture before initiating a renewal prevents unwelcome surprises. Grenada passport renewal costs in 2026 are structured across three categories:
Government and Official Fees
- Standard renewal government fee: USD 100 per adult
- Expedited processing surcharge: USD 50 (reduces processing to approximately 7 business days)
- Child passport renewal fee: Reduced rate applies — confirm current schedule with the CIU or your authorised agent
- Lost or stolen passport: Additional administrative fee applies; processing extends to 3–6 months (see section below)
Courier and Logistics Fees
- International secure courier (document submission and passport return): approximately USD 100–200, depending on origin country
- Notarisation and apostille costs vary by jurisdiction
Professional Assistance Fees
- Authorised agent or consultancy fee: USD 500–1,500 above government fees
- Total all-in cost per adult (standard renewal with professional assistance): approximately USD 700–1,800
Grenada's USD 100 government renewal fee makes it one of the most cost-effective renewal options among Caribbean CBI jurisdictions. By comparison, St. Kitts & Nevis charges USD 1,055 in CBI renewal fees. For a side-by-side comparison across all programmes, see our passport renewal hub.

Step-by-Step Grenada Passport Renewal Process
The Grenada passport renewal process follows a structured sequence. Understanding each stage reduces delays and ensures your application is processed correctly from the outset.
Step 1 — Confirm Your Renewal Eligibility and Timing
Check your current passport expiry date and confirm that your citizenship records with the Grenada CIU are up to date. Many countries require at least 6 months of remaining passport validity for entry or visa applications, so begin the process no later than 6 months before expiry. E-2 Investor Visa holders should allow additional lead time to avoid any gap in US treaty access.
Step 2 — Gather Required Documents
Compile all required documentation before submitting your application. Incomplete applications are the single most common cause of processing delays. See the full document checklist in the next section.
Step 3 — Complete the Renewal Application Form
Obtain the current Grenada passport renewal application form from the Grenada CIU or through your authorised agent. Complete all sections accurately; discrepancies between the application and supporting documents will result in rejection or significant delays.
Step 4 — Biometric Capture
Biometric data — fingerprints and a digital photograph — must be captured at a Grenadian embassy, consulate, or an approved biometric collection centre. This step cannot be performed remotely; however, Grenada maintains a network of diplomatic missions globally that facilitate this process for overseas-based holders. Your authorised agent can advise on the nearest biometric collection point.
Step 5 — Submit Your Application
Applications may be submitted in person at a Grenadian embassy or consulate, or through an authorised agent with power of attorney. Mirabello Consultancy manages the submission process on behalf of clients, including document review, notarisation coordination, and direct liaison with the CIU.
Step 6 — Pay Government Fees
Pay the applicable government renewal fee (USD 100 standard; USD 150 if expedited processing is selected). Retain all payment receipts as these form part of the application file.
Step 7 — Track Your Application and Receive Your Passport
Standard processing takes 4–6 weeks from the date of a complete, accepted application. Expedited processing is available within approximately 7 business days for an additional USD 50. Your new biometric passport will be dispatched via secure international courier to your nominated address.
Required Documents for Grenada Passport Renewal
The following documents are typically required for a standard Grenada CBI passport renewal. Requirements may vary slightly depending on individual circumstances; always confirm the current checklist with the CIU or your authorised agent.
- Completed and signed Grenada passport renewal application form
- Current (expiring) Grenada passport — original to be surrendered
- Two recent passport-sized photographs meeting ICAO biometric standards
- Proof of Grenadian citizenship (citizenship certificate issued at time of naturalisation)
- Biometric data capture confirmation from an approved collection point
- Proof of current residential address (utility bill or bank statement, dated within 3 months)
- Applicable government fee payment receipt
- If applying through an agent: notarised power of attorney
- If name has changed since original citizenship grant: certified copy of marriage certificate, divorce decree, or legal deed poll, apostilled where required
Lost or Stolen Passport — Additional Requirements
If your Grenada passport has been lost or stolen, the renewal process is substantially more complex. You will need to submit a certified police report from the jurisdiction where the loss or theft occurred, a notarised statutory declaration (affidavit) explaining the circumstances, and all standard renewal documents. Processing time for lost or stolen passport cases is typically 3–6 months. Contact Mirabello Consultancy immediately if you are in this situation — prompt professional intervention is strongly advised.
Grenada Passport Renewal Timeline
Processing times for Grenada passport renewals improved significantly in 2025, when the CIU halved its standard processing period. Current timelines are as follows:
- Standard processing: 4–6 weeks from receipt of complete application
- Expedited processing: Approximately 7 business days (USD 50 surcharge)
- Lost/stolen passport: 3–6 months
- Incomplete applications: Timeline resets upon resubmission of missing documents — no partial processing occurs
We recommend initiating renewal no later than 6 months before your passport expiry date to account for any administrative delays and to maintain uninterrupted visa validity for third-country travel.
Remote Passport Renewal — No Travel to Grenada Required
One of the most significant practical advantages for Grenada CBI passport holders is that remote renewal is fully available. You are not required to travel to Grenada at any point during the renewal process.
Remote renewal is facilitated through one of three channels:
- Grenadian Embassy or High Commission — Many Grenada CBI holders based in Europe, the GCC, or Asia can submit documents and complete biometric capture at the nearest Grenadian diplomatic mission.
- Authorised Agent with Power of Attorney — An authorised agent (such as Mirabello Consultancy) can manage the entire renewal on your behalf, from document compilation through to secure passport delivery to your door.
- Approved Biometric Collection Centres — In certain jurisdictions, approved centres can capture biometric data independently of a Grenadian consular presence.
Mirabello Consultancy's Dubai office is specifically equipped to manage remote renewals for clients based across the GCC region. Contact our Dubai team for region-specific guidance.
Family Passport Renewal for Grenada CBI Holders
If your original CBI application included dependants — spouse, children, or qualifying dependant parents — each family member's passport must be renewed individually. There is no family batch renewal option; each application is processed as a separate submission with its own fee payment and documentation set.
Key Considerations for Family Renewals
- Children's passports: Also issued with 5-year validity; both parents (or the sole legal guardian) must typically provide consent documentation
- Spouse renewals: Standard renewal process applies; biometric capture required
- Adding new dependants: A dependant who was not included in the original CBI application must first be added to the citizenship grant before a passport can be issued — this is a separate process from a standard renewal and involves additional CIU fees and processing time
- Name changes: Any dependant whose name has changed since the original citizenship grant must provide supporting legal documentation
Managing multiple family renewals simultaneously can be logistically complex. Mirabello Consultancy coordinates family renewal batches as a single managed engagement, ensuring all applications are submitted correctly and tracked through to completion.
Grenada and ECCIRA: What CBI Holders Need to Know in 2026
Grenada holds a unique position within the Caribbean CBI landscape as the headquarters country of ECCIRA — the Eastern Caribbean Citizenship and Investment Regulatory Authority, established in December 2025. ECCIRA brings together Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, St. Kitts & Nevis, and St. Lucia under a unified regulatory framework designed to enhance programme integrity and international credibility.
For passport renewal purposes, the most significant pending ECCIRA development is the proposed 30-day physical presence requirement, expected to come into effect from mid-2026. Under this rule, CBI citizenship holders may be required to demonstrate a minimum of 30 days' physical presence in their CBI country per renewal cycle. As of the date of this guide's last update, this requirement has not yet been formally implemented, and existing holders renewing now are not currently affected.
However, given that Grenada is ECCIRA's headquarters country, it is likely to be among the first jurisdictions to enforce new regulatory standards. We strongly recommend that all Grenada CBI passport holders seek qualified guidance on how ECCIRA developments may affect their renewal timeline and travel planning. For the latest regulatory updates, refer to ECCIRA's official website.

The E-2 Investor Visa: Why Your Grenada Passport Must Stay Valid
Grenada is the only Caribbean CBI country that has a bilateral investment treaty with the United States qualifying its citizens for the E-2 Investor Visa. The E-2 visa allows Grenadian nationals to reside in the United States while actively managing a qualifying investment — a benefit of extraordinary value that no other Caribbean CBI passport provides.
Critically, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires that your Grenadian passport be valid at the time of each E-2 entry. An expired Grenadian passport — even if your E-2 visa stamp appears in a different passport — can result in denial of entry. Furthermore, E-2 visa applications and renewals at US consulates require a valid Grenadian travel document.
E-2 holders should therefore treat their Grenada passport renewal as a matter of priority rather than routine administration. We recommend initiating renewal at least 8–12 months before expiry if you hold or intend to apply for an E-2 visa.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Renewing Your Grenada Passport
The following errors are responsible for the majority of preventable delays and rejections in Grenada passport renewal applications:
- Waiting too long: Beginning the renewal process fewer than 3 months before expiry leaves insufficient buffer for standard processing and risks visa lapses
- Non-compliant photographs: Photographs that do not meet ICAO biometric standards (incorrect dimensions, background colour, or head position) are one of the most frequent causes of immediate rejection
- Incomplete notarisation: Documents requiring notarisation or apostille that are submitted without the correct certification will be returned unprocessed
- Mismatched personal details: Any discrepancy between the application form, supporting documents, and CIU citizenship records must be resolved before submission — not after
- Ignoring E-2 timing: E-2 holders who allow their Grenada passport to expire while a US visa renewal is pending face potential disruption to US residency status
- Failing to account for ECCIRA changes: Not monitoring regulatory developments from ECCIRA may result in non-compliance if the 30-day presence rule is implemented
- Using unauthorised agents: Submitting through an agent who is not authorised by the Grenada CIU risks application rejection and potential fraud exposure

Frequently Asked Questions: Grenada Passport Renewal 2026
How much does it cost to renew a Grenada CBI passport in 2026?
The Grenada government renewal fee is USD 100 per adult for a standard renewal. An expedited processing surcharge of USD 50 applies if you require a 7-business-day turnaround. International courier costs add approximately USD 100–200. Professional assistance from an authorised agent such as Mirabello Consultancy adds USD 500–1,500 above government fees, bringing the all-in total to approximately USD 700–1,800 per adult.
How long does Grenada passport renewal take in 2026?
Standard processing for a Grenada passport renewal takes 4–6 weeks from the date a complete application is received by the CIU. Expedited processing reduces this to approximately 7 business days for an additional USD 50 surcharge. Lost or stolen passport cases take significantly longer — typically 3–6 months.
Can I renew my Grenada passport without travelling to Grenada?
Yes. Remote renewal is fully available for Grenada CBI passport holders. You can submit your application through a Grenadian embassy or consulate, or through an authorised agent holding a notarised power of attorney. Biometric capture must be completed at a Grenadian diplomatic mission or an approved biometric collection centre near you — but no visit to Grenada itself is required.
How does ECCIRA affect my Grenada passport renewal?
ECCIRA — the Eastern Caribbean Citizenship and Investment Regulatory Authority, established in December 2025 — has its headquarters in Grenada. A proposed 30-day physical presence requirement is expected from mid-2026, which may require CBI holders to demonstrate a minimum period of physical presence in Grenada per renewal cycle. This requirement has not yet been formally implemented as of the date of this guide. Mirabello Consultancy monitors ECCIRA developments continuously and will notify clients of any changes affecting their renewal obligations.
What happens if my Grenada passport expires while I hold a US E-2 Investor Visa?
An expired Grenada passport can create serious complications for E-2 Investor Visa holders. US CBP requires a valid Grenadian travel document at each point of E-2 entry, and US consulates require a valid passport for E-2 visa applications and renewals. E-2 holders should begin their Grenada passport renewal process at least 8–12 months before expiry to ensure there is no gap in their US treaty access.
What documents are required for a Grenada passport renewal?
Core documents include: the completed renewal application form; your current (expiring) Grenada passport; two ICAO-compliant biometric photographs; your original citizenship certificate; biometric capture confirmation; proof of address; and the government fee payment receipt. Applications submitted through an agent require a notarised power of attorney. Additional documentation is required for lost/stolen passports, name changes, or child renewals.
