Grenada offers two routes: a non-refundable contribution to the National Transformation Fund (NTF) or an investment in a government-approved real estate project. Here are the official numbers from the Investment Migration Agency (IMA) Grenada.
The headline amounts
- NTF: US$235,000 for a single applicant, a main applicant with spouse, or a family of up to four.
- Real estate: US$350,000 or US$270,000 (the IMA page does not say which applies to which case), plus a US$50,000 government fee, and the property must be kept for at least five years.
Government fees per person
For applicants and dependants aged 17 or over: application US$1,500, due diligence US$5,000, processing US$1,500 and interview US$1,000. For children under 17: application US$1,500 and processing US$500; no due diligence fee.
Worked examples (NTF route, government costs only)
- Single applicant: 235,000 + 1,500 + 5,000 + 1,500 + 1,000 = US$244,000.
- Two adults and two children under 17: 235,000 + 2 × 9,000 (adult fees) + 2 × 2,000 (child fees) = US$257,000.
These figures exclude agent, legal and travel costs, and follow the IMA’s fee page as published; they are an illustration, not a quote.
Risks in 2026
- A bill tabled in 2026 would require each applicant to spend at least five days in Grenada in the first year after citizenship, with 30 days in total across five years. It is a bill, not confirmed law.
- On 22 September 2026 the IMA announced an independent review of the program.
- A mandatory interview is already part of the process.
