Grenada’s citizenship by investment and second passport program is the only program in the Caribbean that allows Visa Free access to China in addition to all Schengen States, the UK, and Singapore. Grenada has the 39th strongest passport and gives its citizens the option of E-2 USA ‘INVESTOR VISA’ that could down the line lead to a Green Card.

You and your family will obtain an irrevocable dual citizenship and second passport without having to move away or renounce your current nationality.

The Citizenship by Investment Program reopened in August 2013, when the Grenadian Parliament passed Act No. 15 of 2013, otherwise referred to as the ‘Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act, 2013.’ The stated objective of the Act is to “enable persons to acquire permanent residence, second passport and citizenship of Grenada by registration in Grenada’s government approved projects.”
