a priority, as is entering the U.S. promptly. Avoiding taxation
on worldwide income is a goal.
EB-5 may be an answer for some, but not for Chinese
nationals who do not want to wait more than 10 years to
enter the U.S. Even in countries without quota backlogs, the
EB-5 process generally takes about two to three years. And,
of course, the result is taxation on worldwide income.
So, is all hope lost? Happily, there is a creative solution that
could addresses their needs.
First, some background. There are numerous countries
around the world that have citizenship-by-investment (CBI)
programs. However, only three of the countries with an
active CBI program have a bilateral investment treaty with
the U.S. that allows its nationals to obtain E-2 visas. Grenada
is the one country that has a five-year E-2 visa reciprocity,
with visa-free access to over 125 countries, including the EU.
GRENADIAN CITIZENSHIP
Grenadian citizenship can be obtained in three to four months
with a donation of $200,000 for a family ($150,000 for an
individual) to the Grenada National Transformation Fund.
