Grenada Citizenship

Grenada is the only country among the five Caribbean programs that has an E-2 treaty with the US. Grenadian citizens can apply for an E-2 Investor Visa to establish a business in the US.

These programs are not covered by UK immigration legislation and IAA regulations; applications are processed through authorized agents of the respective country.

The program also provides visa-free access to destinations not available with other Caribbean passports, such as China and Brazil. The island is located outside the hurricane belt.
