demonstrate that he or she:
• Is at least eighteen years old;
• Is in good health; and
• Has enough funds to make the required
investment. The source of these funds
must be legal.
In order to ensure that the requirements listed
above are fully adhered to, the Government of

supporting documents. These include, but are
not limited to, original or certified copies of:

APPROVED PROJECT (REAL ESTATE) IN GRENADA

purposes of citizenship by investment begins
with the Citizenship by Investment Committee,
which reviews viable projects and recommends
them to the Minister. The Minister then decides
whether to approve the project, and publishes
his or her approval in the Gazette.

consists of real estate developments on the
island of Grenada. These include luxury hotels,
resorts, and villas.

project must make the investment through an
Authorised Local Agent. Investments in real
estate must be maintained for at least three years
