- An investor’s spouse, children, parents and siblings can get passports under the program.
E-2 business visa to the USA
Grenada citizens can qualify for an E-2 visa to the USA, allowing them to live and work there. Applicants can establish or buy a business in the United States. The minimum investment amount isn’t, but at least $100,000 is usually required. Most foreigners can apply only for an EB-5 visa, which requires at least $800,000 of business investment.
Registration of a company abroad
Investors often register international companies in Grenada to reduce tax payments and avoid currency control restrictions in transactions with foreign partners. Moreover, it helps protect the investor’s privacy as the personal data of the beneficial owner isn’t entered into the commercial register.
10-year US tourists visas
Cosmopolitans with Grenada passports can get a B-1/B-2 tourist visa to the USA. It allows the holder to travel around the country, attend business meetings and get medical treatment in American clinics for up to 180 days a year.
Tax optimization
Grenada doesn’t have taxes on global income, dividends, interest or royalties received from other countries. There are no taxes on inheritance, capital gains, income and stamp duty. Companies follow different rules but are still more beneficial in Grenada than in many other countries.
