Investment directions for obtaining citizenship of Grenada:

How can you get citizenship?

Since 2013, there are 2 main options for acquiring Grenada citizenship through investment - donate money to the state or invest it in real estate.

 

  1. Investments in the National Fund of the State

This is an irrevocable contribution to the state fund "Grants" - transformations;

  • 150 thousand dollars for 1 person;
  • 200 thousand dollars for a family application of 4 people.
Investments in real estate can be of two types:
  1. purchase of a share in an object under construction - invest 220 thousand (at the same time there is an opportunity to relax with the whole family);
  2. purchase of private real estate - a minimum investment of 350 thousand dollars.

Investments must be kept in the state for at least 3 years from the date of granting citizenship. 

Not all real estate can be sold under the citizenship program, but only those properties that are approved by the state for this purpose, most often these are hotels under construction.

From practice it is clear that most often they use the second method, they buy a share in an object under construction. There are several reasons for this. When buying real estate, the bulk of your investment is returned. You can sell it even after 5 years, and you will keep your passport. Perhaps this buyer will be the same participant in the investment program as you are. The project is under the full control of the hotel chain, so you don't have to worry about these investments. The property is bought once. Also, you can rest with your whole family once a year for 2 weeks in a 5-star hotel for free and receive an income of about 3%. For the purpose of further residence, permanent residence, no one invests by and large. Managing real estate located on another continent is quite difficult and problematic. And if the main goal is to obtain citizenship, then why overpay. It will not be profitable for the next participant in the citizenship program to buy your property at a cost of less than 220 thousand dollars, because. then he will not be a participant in the project, so you will not lose the cost of investment. 

Why rarely choose the option of a non-refundable contribution through subsidies? Few people speak, but it is necessary to know. When making a payment from a personal account, you will need to indicate that you are making a contribution in order to obtain citizenship. Not all clients like it and these conditions are suitable at the present time. The correspondent account is located in New York, which further complicates the process of conducting this transaction.    

Not everyone can own real estate abroad or take part in equity projects. The participant of the program must be accredited by the state. 

Previously, it was risky to invest in an unknown country. Now more and more people are investing in real estate - this is a source of income.
