Programme Overview
Grenada's programme has one decisive differentiator: it is the only Caribbean CBI whose citizens are eligible to apply for the US E-2 treaty investor visa — a major draw for applicants planning a US business presence.
Grenada also has one of the broadest family-inclusion definitions, allowing qualifying siblings and parents without strict age limits in some categories — worth comparing line-by-line if your family structure is unusual.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Grenada E-2 route to the US work?
Grenada has a treaty of commerce with the United States, so Grenadian citizens can apply for an E-2 investor visa — a non-immigrant visa that lets you live in the US while running a qualifying business. It requires a real US business investment and is not citizenship, but it is the most practical US route linked to a Caribbean passport.
Does Grenada require an interview?
Yes — like all five Caribbean programmes, Grenada runs mandatory interviews for applicants within its official age threshold as part of due diligence.
Is there a residency requirement?
No physical-presence or visit requirement before or after the grant.
