Steps And Timeline

  • STEP #1: Applying for citizenship through authorised agents.
  • STEP #2: Contacting Authorised local agent to help with document preparation for submission.
  • STEP #3: Authorized Local Agent then starts liaising with the CBIC about all queries that may arise regarding applicant’s candidature.
  • STEP #4: Vetting the application and background verification check by the government on the applicant.
  • STEP #5: Intimation of the success or failure of application and issuance of letter of further instructions by CBIC

 The first step in applying for citizenship is to apply through an authorized agent and pay an initial 10% deposit retainer fee. 

The second step in a citizenship application is contacting an Authorized Local Agent, whose role is to assist the applicant in preparing documents for submission to the CBIC. The applicant must complete official forms, attend a medical examination, and obtain certain supporting documents – all of which must be submitted in English and be legalized appropriately.

If the applicant is purchasing real estate, this will need to be reserved through a sale and purchase agreement. The Authorized Local Agent will be able to advise the applicant on the preparation of the documents and on how to have them legalized. When all forms are complete, the Authorized Agent applies the CBIC. The Authorized Local Agent then becomes responsible for liaising with the CBIC about all correspondence, queries, or questions that may arise concerning the applicant’s file.

There is currently no mandatory interview requirement for the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program.

Each application is vetted by the Government through a thorough due diligence background check, during which time submitted information is examined and verified. The CBIC considers application files in light of this due diligence check and then issues a recommendation about the application. Final approval is in the hands of the Minister, who generally follows the CBIC’s recommendation.

Upon the Minister making a decision, the applicant is issued a letter (through his or her Authorized Local Agent) detailing whether the application was successful, delayed for further processing, or rejected.

If the application is successful, the CBIC issues a letter instructing the applicant (through his or her Authorized Local Agent) to either contribute (for the NTF option) or complete the purchase of his or her real estate. If real estate is purchased, then the applicant must demonstrate completion, as well as the execution of all necessary documents. Upon receiving proof of payment, the CBIC issues the certificate of registration, establishing that the applicant has received Grenadian citizenship. Authorized Local Agents must use this certificate to apply for a Grenadian passport on behalf of the applicant.
