Grenada is the only Caribbean citizenship by investment programme whose passport opens access to an American investor visa under a treaty with the US. It does not accept applications from Russian and Belarusian citizens. Their open options are Vanuatu citizenship and Turkish citizenship.

For everyone else the $235,000 contribution is only the start. On top come fees and due diligence for each adult, documents and surcharges for relatives outside the core family. Below are all the cost items, family amounts, timelines and what happens on refusal.

What the cost is made of

Cost item	Amount	Who pays
Government fund contribution	from $235,000	main applicant
Application, processing and interview	$4,000	once per application
Main applicant due diligence	$5,000	once per application
Share in an approved real estate project instead of the contribution	from $270,000 plus a $50,000 government fee, held 5 years	main applicant
A standalone unit in an approved project	from $350,000 plus the government fee	main applicant
Fifth and further family members	$25,000 added to the contribution	each beyond four
Medical certificates, apostilles and translations	from $300	each family member

Fees and due diligence are paid on filing, and the fund contribution after approval. Buying property adds transaction taxes and charges.

Applications go only through a licensed agent: the investment migration unit does not accept them directly.

The contribution is $235,000, but you pay it only after approval

The biggest losses in Grenada's programme come not from the contribution but from fees and due diligence on refusal: $9,000 per adult is not refunded. Refusals come from unproven source of funds, a concealed visa refusal or citizenship of a restricted country. Murblz checks eligibility before filing, prepares source-of-funds documents and prepares you for the interview.

How much it costs for a family of 2, 3 and 4

Family	Minimum
Two adults	from $244,000
Two adults and a child	from $244,000
Two adults and two children	from $244,000

The $235,000 contribution covers the applicant, spouse, children and parents over 55, up to four people. Parents aged 55 or under add $50,000, and a brother or sister $75,000. Fees and due diligence are paid per person: from age 17 they are double a younger child's.

What the cost does not include

medical certificates and tests;
apostilles, translations and police certificates;
taxes and charges on a property purchase, if you take that route;
surcharges for relatives outside the core family;
the passport and oath after approval;
flights, if you choose to attend the interview in person.

Timeline by step

Step	Time
Pre-check: eligibility and source of funds	1-2 weeks
Filing through a licensed agent and paying fees	2-4 weeks
Due diligence and interview	3-6 months
Approval and payment of the contribution	after the checks
Oath, citizenship certificate and passport	2-4 weeks

The whole path usually takes 4-9 months, about seven on average. After citizenship you will have to visit: the Caribbean states agreed a common standard of at least 30 days on the island in the first 5 years, including 5 days in the first year.

Is money refunded if you are refused

The fund contribution is paid only after approval, so it is not lost if due diligence fails. Filing and due diligence fees are not refunded.

On refusal the property stays yours, but for the programme it must be held 5 years. Selling earlier forfeits eligibility, and a new filing means paying due diligence again.

Comparison with neighbouring programmes

Country	Route	Minimum for one	Time	Dual citizenship
Dominica	Fund contribution or real estate	from $210,000	3-6 months	allowed
Saint Kitts and Nevis	Government fund contribution	from $260,000	3-6 months	allowed
Vanuatu	Government fund contribution under the DSP	from $135,000	Usually 1-3 months	allowed

Dominica is cheaper, St Kitts dearer, and Caribbean timelines are similar. Grenada's edge is the US investor visa treaty. Caribbean programmes are closed to Russian and Belarusian citizens; the open alternative with a similar timeline is Vanuatu.

The US investor visa: what Grenada's trump card really costs

The trade and investment treaty between Grenada and the US gives Grenadian citizens access to the American investor visa. It is not a green card: the visa lets you come to the US and run your own operating business there, your spouse may work and your children may study.

There is a condition the glossy brochures skip: before applying for this visa you must show that you lived in Grenada continuously for at least three years. Add a real investment in a US business. So the price of the passport should include the price of moving to the island.

What Russian and Belarusian citizens can do

Grenada accepts no applications from Russian and Belarusian citizens, without exception. A second passport for investment is open to them in Vanuatu, with no trip and in a few months, and in Turkey through a property purchase.

If you already hold a second citizenship and live outside Russia, eligibility is checked against all your passports and your country of residence before filing.

Documents and where to get them

passports, birth and marriage certificates with apostilles;
police certificates from your country of citizenship and every country where you lived more than 6 months;
a medical certificate and tests;
proof of source of funds: statements, asset sale contracts, tax returns;
a bank reference;
photos and forms for each family member.

Documents in other languages are translated into English. Certificates older than three to six months are usually asked to be replaced.
