A Caribbean second passport with a unique advantage: Grenada's E2 Treaty with the United States opens the door to US investor visas — not available through any other Caribbean CBI programme.
Programme Overview
Grenada's citizenship by investment programme stands apart from other Caribbean programmes for one defining reason: Grenada holds a bilateral trade and investment treaty with the United States that allows Grenadian citizens to apply for the US E2 investor visa. No other Caribbean CBI programme offers this benefit.
Beyond the US E2 advantage, the Grenada programme grants a strong passport with visa-free access to over 140 countries, including the UK and the entire Schengen area. The programme is efficient, well-regulated, and has been operating since 2013 under the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act.
Applications can be completed without the applicant ever visiting Grenada, though a visit is welcome. The entire process can typically be completed within four to six months from a complete submission.

Common Questions
The E2 investor visa allows nationals of E2 treaty countries to live and work in the USA by making a qualifying investment in a US business. Grenada is one of very few Caribbean nations with an E2 treaty — meaning a Grenada passport can open this pathway for nationalities that don't otherwise qualify.
No. The entire application can be managed remotely. A visit to Grenada is optional and welcomed, but not required for programme participation.
