Grenada: Real Estate Investment Minimum Reduced
The Grenada Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Unit is delighted to present news of an enhancement of the Grenada CBI program. An amendment to Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act No. 15 of 2013 has been based, which permits developers with an Approved Real Estate Project within the Tourism sector to sell each unit to multiple applicants with each applicant paying a purchase price of no less than US$220,000.
Hence, the revised qualifying Real Estate investment is as follows:
- Full Ownership: US$350,000 investment qualifies 1 principle applicant with family.
- Joint Ownership: US$440,000 investment qualifies 2 principle applicants with families (must apply together).
- Real Estate can be resold in 3-5 years and qualify new purchaser for citizenship.
In addition to the RE investment, Government Fee applies:
- $50,000 main applicant with up to 3 dependents
- $25,000 per each additional qualifying dependent
The CBI Unit accepts applications with the main applicant electing the new price option with immediate effect.
Grenada: Siblings Permitted as Dependent Family Members
- Siblings of the main applicant (and of the spouse of the main applicant) who are not married and do not have any children may be included as a dependent of the main applicant.
- Parents of the main applicant (or his/her spouse) will not be required to be financially dependent on the main applicant.
- Dependent children over the age of 18 will not be required to be enrolled in college or university.
Applicable government fees, due upon approval in principle:
- $50,000 Parents under 55, per person
- $75,000 Siblings, per person
These exciting developments make Grenada one of the most attractive CBI program in the Caribbean.

Grenada No Longer Requires CBI Clients to Apply for Permanent Residency
Grenada: Real Estate Can be Resold under CBI
Taking the opportunity, we would like to remind our valued partners and clients, that secondary purchasers of real estate units in CBI Approved Projects are eligible to obtain citizenship in accordance will all applicable regulatory requirements subject to the payment of the minimum investment amount plus the required government contribution.
This means that once the mandatory RE hold period is over the owner can resell his/her investment and the next buyer will also qualify for Grenadian citizenship under the Citizenship by Investment program. The next buyer will be required to invest a minimum of USD $350,000, therefore your initial RE investment is now secured against depreciation.
