The NTF allows foreign investors to obtain Grenadian citizenship in exchange for investing in the country. The program offers individuals and their families the opportunity to acquire Grenadian citizenship by making a significant financial contribution to the NTF.
The funds generated through the NTF are used to finance priority sectors such as tourism, infrastructure development, education, healthcare, and renewable energy projects. The program aims to attract foreign investment, boost economic development, create job opportunities, and enhance the overall well-being of Grenada’s citizens. Investment starts from $235,000 (USD) plus government fees and charges.

The Real Estate Investment option is one of the avenues available for obtaining citizenship through the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program. The program allows foreign investors to acquire Grenadian citizenship by making a significant investment in approved real estate projects in the country.

The specific investment amount may vary and is subject to change, contact us for the most up-to-date information.
