Frequently Asked Questions
How does the US E-2 visa work for Grenadian citizens?
Grenadian citizens can apply for the US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa by making a substantial investment in a US business. This visa allows you to live and work in the USA, and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business operates. It's an excellent pathway for those seeking US access without the long EB-5 wait times.
Can I travel to China with a Grenada passport?
Yes, Grenada is one of the few Caribbean nations with visa-free access to China for up to 30 days. This is a significant advantage for business travelers and those with interests in Asia.
What is the difference between NTF and real estate options?
The National Transformation Fund is a non-refundable donation with no ongoing obligations, making it simpler and faster. Real estate investment requires a higher initial amount but provides a tangible asset with potential rental income and appreciation, though with a 5-year holding period.

After obtaining Grenada citizenship, the E-2 visa application typically takes 2-4 months. You'll need to establish or invest in a qualifying US business before applying. Our team can assist with the entire process.
