The Grenada advantage
A treaty route to the United States
Grenada holds an E-2 Treaty Investor agreement with the United States. Once you hold Grenadian citizenship, you can apply for a US E-2 visa to live in the United States and operate a qualifying business there. Among citizenship-by-investment countries, Grenada is the only Caribbean program with this treaty, and applicants face no waiting period after naturalisation before they can file.
Grenada also grants visa-free access to China alongside the UK and the Schengen Area, a combination few second passports offer. The E-2 route is subject to meeting the visa's own investment and nationality requirements, which an Ancova advisor reviews against your circumstances before you commit.
