Grenada has a treaty with the US that allows Grenadian citizens to apply for the E-2 investor visa - giving them the right to live and work in the US. Indians cannot normally access E-2 directly. This is Grenada's unique advantage.
Grenada passport gives visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 140+ countries including UK, EU Schengen, China, and Singapore.
$150,000 donation gives Grenadian citizenship - less than half the cost of Malta or a fraction of direct US investment.
Never need to live in Grenada to maintain citizenship.
Grenada - the Spice Isle - is genuinely beautiful with excellent beaches and a relaxed lifestyle.

The main pathways available to Indian retirees and investors.

Healthcare in Grenada is basic. General Hospital St George's handles routine care. For complex treatment, medical travel to Barbados or the US is standard. Most CBI holders don't plan to live in Grenada full-time.
Grenada has a very small Indian community. The island's population is only 113,000. Most Indian CBI holders obtain the Grenada passport specifically for US E-2 visa access, not to relocate.
Grenada does not tax the worldwide income of non-resident citizens. Your Indian income remains governed by Indian tax law and NRI status.
Note: Tax situations vary based on your income structure and residency pattern. Work with a qualified tax advisor who understands both Indian and Grenada tax law before making decisions.
