The Grenada Advantage: E-2 Visa Treaty
What makes Grenada unique?
Grenada is the only Caribbean citizenship program with an E-2 treaty with the United States. This allows Grenadian citizens to:
- Establish and operate a substantial business in the US
- Live in the United States while running the business
- Bring spouse and children under 21 to the US
- Renewable visa with no maximum period
This effectively provides a pathway to US residency through business investment—a benefit unavailable with any other Caribbean citizenship program.

- Safety: One of the Caribbean’s lowest crime rates
- Education: Home to world-renowned St. George’s University School of Medicine
- Economy: Growing tourism and offshore financial sectors
- Location: Outside the hurricane belt for greater environmental security
- Culture: Rich blend of Caribbean warmth with British Commonwealth heritage
Important Update: Grenada has discontinued issuing permanent residence cards as part of the citizenship process. All approved applicants receive full citizenship directly.
