Grenada

Grenada Citizenship by Investment

A Caribbean second passport with minimal physical-presence requirements, approval in roughly six to nine months, and the only Caribbean citizenship with a route to the US E-2 treaty investor visa.

The E-2 differentiator

Grenada is the sole citizenship-by-investment country with an E-2 treaty of commerce with the United States. Naturalised citizens can apply for an E-2 investor visa to live in the US while actively directing a US business — an outcome unavailable to nationals of India, China, and most other CBI client countries — but current rules require three years of Grenadian domicile after naturalisation before an E-2 application qualifies, so this is a multi-year strategy, not an immediate one.
