Grenada Citizenship: Americans Top Approval Rankings in 2025

During the second quarter of 2025, the Grenada Investment Immigration Authority approved 402 applications, 12% of which were from US citizens, compared to just 1% in the first quarter out of 632 applications.

This rapid increase reflects how Americans have moved from the margins to the forefront of the Grenada passport by Investment landscape in just a few months.

Meanwhile, demand remained strong from traditional markets such as China, Nigeria, and Pakistan. However, the most significant development was the shift in citizenship rankings. After Nigerians had long been among the most consistent applicants for the program, Americans have suddenly emerged as a major new demographic in Grenada’s citizenship landscape.

By the end of June 2025, Grenada had welcomed 893 new citizens, contributing over $103 million to the local economy.

Why are Americans turning to Grenada citizenship in 2025?

The surge in American interest cannot be viewed in isolation from the broader political and economic environment in the United States. Many high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs are seeking a “Plan B” that offers greater flexibility in residency, travel, and tax planning.

Grenada offers several advantages that are particularly attractive to Americans:

✓ A passport that allows visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more than 140 countries, including the Schengen Area and major Asian destinations.

✓ Eligibility for a US E-2 visa through Grenada citizenship provides an alternative legal pathway to live and work in the United States.

✓ A remarkably low-tax environment, with no wealth tax, no inheritance tax, and no capital gains tax at the local level.

When investors combine these advantages with the relaxed Caribbean lifestyle, Grenada citizenship becomes, for many Americans, a strategic asset rather than simply an “extra passport.”

Diversity of Nationalities and Grenada’s Global Strategy

Despite growing U.S. interest, Grenada’s citizenship program remains globally diverse, offering citizenship to applicants from Pakistan, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Egypt, the Gulf States, Europe, and Africa.

This diversity not only builds a broad investor base but also protects the program from over-reliance on a single market.

At the same time, the Investment Immigration Agency is expanding its presence in Africa, particularly in Nigeria and West Africa, through promotional tours and partnerships with local chambers of commerce. Grenada aims to balance growing US demand with maintaining strong relationships in historically important markets like Nigeria.

What does this surge mean for Arab investors?

For Arab investors, the dominance of American applicants carries several implications:

First, it signifies confidence. When investors from a demanding market like the United States choose a particular program, it often means that the program’s transparency, stability, and legal clarity are highly satisfactory.

Second, strong American participation may prompt Grenada to strengthen its regulations and due diligence standards, enhancing the global reputation of Grenadian citizenship and increasing its perceived value to governments and financial institutions.

Third, this momentum could lead to increased investment in approved real estate projects under the program, as well as new developments in the tourism, hotel, and resort sectors—all areas where Arab investors can benefit as partners or secondary investors.

Ultimately, the shift of Grenadian citizenship to a preferred option for Americans is reshaping the competitive landscape of global citizenship by investment programs, both in the Caribbean and beyond.

The Future Prospects of the Grenada Citizenship Program

If US demand for citizenship remains at its current levels or increases further, we may see additional developments in investment requirements and greater diversification of available options. While the program is likely to maintain its core structure of contributions to the National Transformation Fund and real estate investment, more specialized projects targeting specific groups, such as technology entrepreneurs or renewable energy investors, may emerge.

At the same time, Grenada will need to maintain a balance between attracting capital and safeguarding its legal and economic integrity, ensuring the program does not become an unregulated gateway.

This is precisely the pivotal role of professional consulting firms, helping individuals understand the true picture behind the Grenada citizenship program, beyond mere marketing claims.
