Citizenship Of Grenada

The Grenada Citizenship program was suspended in 2001. You can read archived information for Grenada economic citizenship options below. The Grenada citizenship program is missed, but hopefully it will be re-instated sooner rather than later.

In the meantime you may consider other long standing and reliable second citizenship programs, such as Dominica Economic Citizenship and Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment .

Important Notice: The Grenada Economic Citizenship Program has been suspended by the Government of Grenada for an indefinite period. No new applications are processed or accepted at the moment. In 2001 then Grenada Finance Minister, Anthony Boatswain announced the suspension of this program, claiming that it became “too risky” in the light of the terrorist attacks in US. As of 2011, the program remains suspended. There is an alternative to the Grenada citizenship — the citizenship of the Commonwealth of Dominica and St. Kitts and Nevis citizenship. Contact Us for information on Dominica Citizenship or St Kitts/Nevis Citizenship .
