Limits and drawbacks

  • The E-2 route is sold across the sector as an immediate benefit of citizenship. Whether it requires three years of prior domicile is genuinely unsettled — see the disputed point below before relying on it.
  • Real estate carries 50,000 USD in government fees on top of the investment, and resale after the five-year hold is taxed at 5 to 15 percent.
  • Any source of funds above 10,000 USD triggers enhanced due diligence, which lengthens processing.
  • Applications from Russian and Belarusian nationals have been suspended since March 2023 under Circular No. 2 of 2023.

What it gets you

  • Visa-free access to China, unique among Caribbean programmes
  • Grenada holds an E-2 treaty with the United States — see the disputed point below on what that actually allows and when
  • Broad family definition with no age ceiling on dependent parents and grandparents

Does Grenadian citizenship give immediate access to the US E-2 investor visa?

What the official source says
The US Department of State lists Grenada as an E-2 treaty country. Neither that listing nor any Grenadian government source states a minimum period of citizenship or domicile before applying.
What practitioners report
Several immigration practitioners state that the AMIGOS Act of 2022 requires three years of domicile in Grenada before an E-2 application can be filed. Sources disagree on whether this is already applied or still pending implementation.
What is not settled
No official US or Grenadian source confirms or denies that the three-year requirement is in force as of July 2026. Anyone considering Grenada primarily for E-2 access should put the question in writing to the Investment Migration Agency and to a US immigration attorney before committing funds.

What we do for you

Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.

For Grenada specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.

  • One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
  • Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
  • It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
