Like its counterparts in  St. Kitts and Nevis  and the  Commonwealth of Dominica, the  Grenada Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program is a popular immigration route to second citizenship among high-net-worth individuals in the Middle East and North Africa. 

There are numerous reasons behind the program’s success, with much of it due to the many benefits and opportunities a Grenadian passport grants access to, including unrestricted travel worldwide and access to the United States of America via the coveted E-2 Investor visa. Also, this Caribbean program has one of the more affordable, straightforward and faster application processes. 

This article covers the most important questions one needs to ask when applying for the Grenada CBI program. Take a closer look at the rules, regulations, and benefits that come with obtaining this second passport.
