What Are the Core Documents Every Grenada CBI Applicant Needs?

Every Grenada CBI application — regardless of investment route — requires the following foundational documents from the main applicant. All documents must be certified, notarised, and apostilled according to the requirements of the Investment Migration Agency (IMA).

Personal Identification Documents

• Valid passport — certified copy of current passport (bio-data page and all pages with stamps/visas). Must have at least 6 months validity remaining at the time of application
• Birth certificate — original or certified copy, apostilled. If not in English, an official certified translation is required
• National identity card — certified copy (if applicable in your country of nationality)
• Passport-sized photographs — typically 6-8 recent colour photographs (35mm x 45mm) per applicant, taken within the last 6 months, with white background
• Name change documentation — if applicable, marriage certificate, deed poll, or court order evidencing any name change

Civil Status Documents

• Marriage certificate — if married, original or certified copy with apostille
• Divorce decree — if previously married, certified copy of final divorce decree or annulment
• Death certificate of former spouse — if widowed, certified copy
• Statutory declaration of single status — if never married, a sworn affidavit

Police Clearance and Character References

• Police clearance certificate — from the applicant's country of nationality AND country of current residence (if different). Must cover at least the past 10 years. Some jurisdictions issue these as "Certificate of Good Conduct" or "Criminal Record Extract"
• FBI report or equivalent — if the applicant has ever resided in the United States, an FBI background check is required
• Character references — typically 2-3 professional character reference letters from individuals of standing (lawyers, accountants, bankers, business partners) who have known the applicant for a minimum of 5 years
• Professional reference letter — from the applicant's bank, confirming the banking relationship and good standing

Financial Documents

• Bank reference letter — from the applicant's primary bank, confirming the relationship, account standing, and financial capacity
• Bank statements — typically the most recent 12 months of bank statements from all accounts held, showing sufficient funds for the chosen investment route
• Source of funds declaration — a detailed written statement explaining the origin of the investment funds (employment income, business profits, inheritance, property sale, etc.)
• Source of funds evidence — supporting documents such as employment contracts, business accounts, property sale agreements, inheritance documentation, or tax returns
• Tax returns or tax clearance — most recent 3 years of tax filings or a tax compliance certificate from the relevant authority
• Net worth statement — a sworn declaration of assets and liabilities, preferably prepared or certified by an accountant

Medical and Health Documents

• Medical examination report — completed by a licensed physician, typically covering general health, communicable diseases (HIV, TB, Hepatitis B/C), and fitness for immigration purposes

Frequently Asked Questions About Grenada CBI Documents

How Long Does It Take to Gather All Required Documents?

Allow 4-8 weeks for complete document preparation. Police clearances and apostilles are often the most time-consuming items. Starting the document collection process early — ideally before selecting your investment route — ensures the smoothest possible application timeline.

Can Documents Be Submitted in Languages Other Than English?

All documents must be in English or accompanied by a certified English translation from a sworn or accredited translator. The translation must be apostilled alongside the original document.

What Happens If a Document Is Missing or Incomplete?

Incomplete applications are not accepted by the IMA. Missing documents will result in the application being returned, causing significant delays. Mirabello Consultancy's pre-submission review ensures every document meets IMA requirements before filing.

Do I Need to Provide Biometric Data for Grenada CBI?

Yes. Online interviews are mandatory for all applicants. Biometric data may be collected as part of the passport issuance process. Photographs must meet ICAO biometric standards.

How Long Are Police Clearance Certificates Valid?

Police clearance certificates are typically valid for 6 months from the date of issue. If the application process extends beyond this period, you may need to obtain an updated certificate.
