Grenada

I recommend the Citizenship by Investment Programme for Grenada.

I recommend the Citizenship by Investment Programme for Grenada, to my clients probably more than any of the others, as I believe the programme offers real benefits and enormous flexibility to South Africans Investors. I would like to highlight some of the key benefits, that make it worth considering as either a Plan B or as a route to ultimately relocating to the USA:

Eligibility to apply for an E2 visa for the USA

Eligibility to apply for an E2 visa for the USA. Unfortunately, we are not eligible to apply based on our South African passports. Recent changes to the US immigration laws have closed most channels. As Grenadian passport holders, South Africans would be eligible to start a new business or buy an existing business and relocate to the US. You could apply immediately or keep it as an option that you or your children may wish to exercise in the future.

Fast Processing Times

Fast processing times. Grenada application process is relatively easy and is very efficient. Applications usually take less than 90 days to be approved. You and your family could have their passports before the South African border reopen.

Flexibility

Flexibility. There is no residency or visit requirement. Investors have the option of either living and working there on a full-time basis or never stepping foot on the Island.

Visa-free Travel

Visa-free travel.  Whether you travel for business or leisure, a Grenadian passport would allow you to travel visa-free to more than 130 countries, including the UK, EU and China.

Family Inclusion

Family inclusion. Your spouse, your children, your parents and any unmarried siblings are included under a single investment. Additional processing fees will apply.

St George's University

St George’s University. It was established on the Island in 1977. It is one of the top medical and veterinary schools in the world.

Generational Citizenship

Citizenship can be passed down to future generations. It is an investment that your children, their children and future generations will benefit from.

Resale

Resale of your investment. After 5 years, you can sell your investment to another investor who will qualify for the same citizenship benefit, while you still retain your Grenadian passport

Investors have the option of either making a non-refundable contribution of USD 200,000 or investing USD 220,000 in a government-approved real estate development. Remember that investors are permitted to sell their investment after 5 years, so the investment option makes more sense to me.

InterContinental, Grenada

I engaged with the various property developers operating in Grenada and I am proud to be able to recommend InterContinental Grenada developed by Range Developments to my clients. When I am looking for a partner, one of the most important things for me, is their track record. Range Developments are the only developer that has a track record of successful completion of luxury developments in the Caribbean. This is their 4th development in the Caribbean. They have more than 6000 investors and have created more than 3500 jobs across their developments.

This magnificent 150-room Caribbean hotel will be built on La Sagesse Beach - a prime location for guests seeking a relaxing and secluded stay along Grenada’s spectacular southeastern shoreline.

The InterContinental Grenada Resort will feature more than 30 private suites, an array of restaurants and bars, a luxurious spa and pool with bar and grill, a fitness centre, approximately 6,000 square feet of meeting space and a business centre. The property is expected to open in 2025.
