Grenada's citizenship-by-investment programme

The Grenada Citizenship-by-Investment Programme (CIP) was launched in 2013 and is a superb solution for investors looking for increased visa-free travel and greater global mobility. The programme offers you and your family the opportunity to fast track to a second citizenship and passport with the process conducted entirely from your home country – it does not require an applicant to live in or even visit the country in order to apply.

Grenada has a lot to offer its residents, with its lush tropical island lifestyle and beautiful white sand beaches. The process of gaining Grenadian citizenship is fast, easy and you don’t have to forfeit your current citizenship.
This is an ideal route for families looking to gain a second passport. Financially dependent adult children up to the age of 29, parents over the age of 55 and single siblings with no children may also be included in the application.
