Grenada, the E-2 treaty and the route into the United States

Grenadian citizenship gives access to a US treaty investor visa that most nationalities cannot use. The mechanics, and the ways it goes wrong.

Advisory desk · 11 June 2026 · 7 min read

Grenada is the only Caribbean citizenship programme whose passport carries a United States E-2 treaty investor entitlement. For families from countries without their own treaty, that is the substantive reason to choose it.

What the E-2 is, and is not

It is a renewable non-immigrant visa tied to an active US business you direct. It is not a green card, it does not lead automatically to permanent residence, and it ends if the business does.

Working through this for your own family? Book a consultation and an adviser will assess your position directly.

The sequencing that works

Citizenship first, then a properly capitalised and genuinely operating business, then the visa filing. Applicants who build the business before the citizenship usually rework it.

Key takeaways

  • Budget for two separate professional workstreams: citizenship and US immigration.
  • The business must be real, active and more than marginal.
  • Allow a realistic runway between citizenship approval and the visa interview.

Want this assessed against your own file?

A consultation with an adviser covers your nationality, funds and timeline, and ends with a written shortlist and a fixed fee quote. Nothing is payable until you sign an engagement letter.
