Häufig gestellte Fragen zur Grenada Staatsbürgerschaft durch Investition

Wie viel kostet die Grenada Staatsbürgerschaft durch Investition 2026?

Die Grenada Staatsbürgerschaft durch Investition beginnt bei $235.000 über den National Transformation Fund (NTF) für einen einzelnen Antragsteller. Die Immobilienvariante erfordert eine Mindestinvestition von $270.000 in ein von der Regierung genehmigtes Projekt mit einer fünfjährigen Sperrfrist. Zusätzliche Regierungsbearbeitungs- und Due-Diligence-Gebühren belaufen sich in der Regel auf $20.000–$40.000, abhängig von der Familiengröße.

Was ist der Vorteil des US-E-2-Visums für Grenadas CBI?

Grenada ist das einzige karibische CBI-Land mit einem bilateralen Investitionsschutzabkommen mit den USA. Grenadische Staatsbürger können ein US-E-2-Investorenvisum beantragen, das es ihnen ermöglicht, in den USA zu leben und zu arbeiten, indem sie in ein US-Unternehmen investieren. Dies macht Grenadas CBI außerordentlich wertvoll für diejenigen, die Zugang zum US-Markt ohne grüne Karte anstreben.

Wie lange dauert der Grenada-CBI-Antragsvorgang?

Der Grenada-CBI-Antrag dauert in der Regel 5–7 Monate von der Einreichung bis zur Genehmigung. Verbesserungen bei der Bearbeitung 2025 haben die Wartezeiten reduziert. Als ECCIRA-Sitz profitiert Grenada von der vereinfachteren Regulierungsaufsicht unter karibischen CBI-Programmen.

Können Familienmitglieder im Grenada-CBI-Antrag einbezogen werden?

Ja. Das Grenada-CBI-Programm erlaubt Ihnen, Ihren Ehegatten, unterhaltsberechtigte Kinder unter 30 Jahren, Eltern und Großeltern über 55 Jahren sowie berechtigte Geschwister einzubeziehen. Diese großzügige Familieninklusion bedeutet, dass Ihre gesamte Familie grenadische Staatsbürgerschaft durch einen einzigen NTF-Beitrag oder eine Immobilieninvestition erlangen kann.

Welche Länder können Sie mit einem Grenada-Pass visumfrei besuchen?

Der grenadische Pass bietet visumfreien oder Visa-bei-Ankunft-Zugang zu 140 Ländern, einschließlich aller Schengen-Länder, des Vereinigten Königreichs und Chinas. Wichtig ist, dass Grenadas E-2-Abkommen mit den USA einen Weg zur US-Residenz bietet — einzigartig unter karibischen CBI-Programmen.

Lohnt sich die Grenada Staatsbürgerschaft durch Investition 2026 noch immer?

Ja. Grenadas einzigartiges US-E-2-Abkommen macht es zur ersten Wahl für Investoren, die US-Marktzugang anstreben. Kombiniert mit visumfreiem Zugang zu 140 Ländern, null Einkommensteuer und Kapitalgewinnen, sowie glaubwürdigem ECCIRA-Regelwerk bietet Grenadas CBI außergewöhnlichen Wert — insbesondere für US-fokussierte Geschäftsinhaber und Unternehmer.

Have questions? We have answers

Can I apply for Grenadian citizenship if my parent was a naturalized citizen?

Yes, individuals born to parents who became naturalized Grenadians before their birth are eligible.

Is there a generation limit for citizenship by descent?

No, Grenada allows citizenship to be passed down indefinitely, provided there is valid proof of lineage.

Do I need to live in Grenada to keep my citizenship?

No, there is no residency requirement to maintain Grenadian citizenship by descent.

How long does the citizenship and passport process take?

The full process, from application submission to passport issuance, takes approximately 6-12 weeks.

Can I apply for a Grenadian passport after receiving my citizenship certificate?

Yes, after obtaining the citizenship certificate, you may apply for a Grenadian passport, which is typically processed within 2-4 weeks.

What documents do I need for Grenada citizenship by descent?

Applying for Grenada citizenship by descent requires comprehensive documentation to establish your lineage and prove your connection to a Grenadian citizen. All documents must be original or certified copies, and foreign-language documents must be accompanied by certified English translations.

  • Your documents: Valid passport, birth certificate, two passport-sized photographs, police clearance certificate from each country you have lived in for 12+ months
  • Proof of Grenadian lineage: Birth certificate of your Grenadian parent or grandparent, their Grenadian passport or citizenship certificate
  • Connecting documents: Marriage certificates linking the generations (if applicable), death certificates (if the Grenadian relative is deceased)
  • Statutory declaration: A sworn statement attesting to your relationship and the circumstances of your claim
  • Application form: Completed and signed application submitted to the Grenada Passport and Immigration Department

The documentation requirements can vary depending on whether your claim is through a parent or grandparent, and whether the Grenadian relative was born in Grenada or naturalised. Mirabello Consultancy provides full document preparation support to ensure a smooth process.

Does Grenada citizenship by descent give me access to the US E-2 visa?

Yes, Grenada citizenship obtained through descent provides full access to the US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, exactly the same as citizenship obtained through any other route. Grenada is the only Caribbean nation with a bilateral investment treaty with the United States that qualifies for the E-2 visa category.

  • E-2 visa benefits: Allows you to live and work in the United States by investing in a US-based business
  • No minimum investment: There is no fixed minimum, but the investment must be "substantial" — typically USD 100,000 or more
  • Renewable: E-2 visas are issued for up to 5 years and are indefinitely renewable as long as the business remains operational
  • Family inclusion: Your spouse can obtain work authorisation in the US, and children can attend US schools
  • No distinction: The US Embassy makes no distinction between citizenship by descent, birth, naturalisation, or CBI when processing E-2 applications

This makes Grenada citizenship by descent particularly valuable for individuals seeking US market access. Mirabello Consultancy can advise on both the citizenship application and subsequent E-2 visa strategy.

How many countries can I visit visa-free with a Grenadian passport obtained by descent?

A Grenadian passport obtained through citizenship by descent provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 140 countries and territories. The passport carries identical travel privileges regardless of how you acquired citizenship — whether by birth, descent, marriage, or the CBI programme.

  • Europe (Schengen Area): Visa-free access to all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days per 180-day period
  • United Kingdom: Visa-free entry for short stays
  • China: Visa-free access — a significant advantage not available with many Western passports
  • Singapore and Hong Kong: Visa-free entry to key Asian financial centres
  • United States: E-2 Treaty Investor Visa eligibility (unique among Caribbean nations)

The Grenadian passport is among the strongest in the Caribbean and offers a particularly attractive combination of European, Asian, and US market access. Mirabello Consultancy can help you assess whether Grenada citizenship by descent aligns with your global mobility objectives.

Can I apply for Grenada citizenship by descent if I live outside Grenada?

Yes, you can apply for Grenada citizenship by descent regardless of where you currently reside. There is no requirement to be physically present in Grenada to submit your application, and you do not need to relocate to Grenada at any point during the process.

  • No residency requirement: You are not required to live in Grenada before, during, or after obtaining citizenship by descent
  • Remote application: Applications can be submitted through an authorised representative or directly to the Grenada Passport and Immigration Department
  • Document authentication: Documents from your country of residence must be properly apostilled or authenticated by the relevant Grenadian consulate
  • Passport collection: Your passport can typically be collected from a Grenadian embassy or consulate in your country of residence

Grenada does not impose physical presence or minimum stay requirements for citizens by descent. Once you have your passport, you may visit Grenada at your leisure. Mirabello Consultancy can manage the entire process remotely, liaising with Grenadian authorities on your behalf from our offices in Zurich or Dubai.

Is there an age limit for claiming Grenada citizenship by descent?

There is no age limit for claiming Grenada citizenship by descent. Whether you are 18 or 80, if you can demonstrate the qualifying lineage, you are entitled to apply for citizenship. However, there are some important considerations regarding the claim process.

  • No maximum age: Adults of any age may submit an application
  • Minors: Applications for children under 18 must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian
  • Generational limits: The key constraint is the generational distance from your Grenadian ancestor, not your age. Claims through a parent are more straightforward than claims through a grandparent
  • Documentation availability: Older applicants may face challenges in locating historical birth and marriage records, particularly if the Grenadian relative was born before comprehensive civil registration

It is worth noting that earlier applications can be advantageous as it becomes simpler to locate supporting documents and living witnesses. Mirabello Consultancy recommends beginning the process promptly and can assist with tracing historical records through our network of contacts in Grenada.
