Investment property: Grenada
Grenada is a small Caribbean market where investor interest is almost entirely tied to the citizenship by investment program.
Through real estate it works like this: the investor buys a share in a government-approved tourism project, typically a hotel or resort, and receives a Grenadian passport for themselves and their family. The passport offers visa-free access to dozens of countries, including China and the Schengen area, plus eligibility for the US E-2 investor visa - a rare combination among Caribbean programs. It is important to understand that an ordinary purchase of a villa or apartment outside approved projects does not lead to citizenship, and foreigners need a special license to acquire land. The market itself is small and illiquid - property here is usually a vehicle for the passport rather than a standalone investment.
We help you choose an approved project with a credible developer and clear buyback terms, which in the Caribbean matters more than anything else. We review the project documents and the contract, manage the transaction and the entire citizenship application, including due diligence. If your goal is the property rather than the passport, we will say honestly that better markets exist for that.
Two routes to property in Grenada
Through the citizenship program. A share in a government-approved project from $270,000 qualifies you to apply for a passport; the alternative is a contribution to the national fund from $235,000. Conditions, timelines and family make-up are on our Grenada citizenship page.
An ordinary purchase. Under the Aliens (Land-Holding Regulation) Act, Chapter 13, a foreigner needs a licence from the Minister to hold land. The application comes with a statutory declaration of the consideration, and the licence takes effect only after all fees are paid to the Treasury and it is registered at the Deeds and Land Registry.
We will calculate online the full purchase cost for your budget: taxes, fees and transaction costs.
Steps for a purchase outside the program
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Property checks | the seller's title and encumbrances at the Deeds and Land Registry |
| 2. Contract and deposit | deal terms conditional on obtaining the licence |
| 3. Alien licence | an application to the Minister with a statutory declaration of the price |
| 4. Fees and registration | fees paid to the Treasury, registration of the licence and the deal |
The licence adds weeks or months to a deal, so obtaining it is built into the contract from the start.
How long to hold property under the citizenship programme
The citizenship programme offers two options: a share in an approved project from $270,000 or a separate unit in an approved project from $350,000. Both add a government fee of $50,000, and the property must be held for at least 5 years. After that it can be sold, let or transferred, and citizenship is kept. More on the Grenada citizenship page.
