Complete guide to Grenada Citizenship by Investment for Nigerians

Dreaming of a second passport that opens up the world, brings global opportunities to your doorstep, and doesn’t require you to move from Nigeria? Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program might just be what you’re looking for, and with Lery Hago and partners, the process can be smoother than you think.

Let’s walk you through everything you need to know about the Grenada CBI program.

What is Citizenship by Investment (CBI)?

Citizenship by Investment (CBI) is a legal process through which a country grants citizenship to individuals and their families in exchange for a significant investment in the nation’s economy. This is usually in the form of a government donation, real estate purchase, or business investment.

Unlike traditional immigration, CBI:

• Does not require you to relocate
• Often provides fast-tracked citizenship, usually within months
• Offers lifetime citizenship that can be passed down to future generations

It’s a strategic move for high-net-worth individuals who want to expand visa-free travel options, diversify assets and tax residency, secure a Plan B for their families, and access better education, healthcare, and business markets.

Why choose Grenada?

Grenada, known as the “Spice Isle,” is a stunning Caribbean destination filled with lush rainforests, golden beaches, and crystal-clear waterfalls. Beyond its beauty, it offers one of the most attractive CBI programmes globally and best of all, you don’t even need to visit or relocate to qualify.

Why Grenada CBI is attractive for Nigerians

For Nigerians looking for global mobility, access to better education for their children, secure financial planning, and business opportunities abroad. Grenada’s CBI programme ticks all these boxes

Global travel freedom

With a Grenadian passport, you gain visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 160 countries, including:

• The UK
• The Schengen Area
• China 
• Singapore
• Hong Kong
• And more…

US E-2 Visa Access

Grenada has a treaty with the United States, which means its citizens are eligible to apply for the E-2 investor visa, a non-immigrant visa that allows you to live and run a business in the US based on a substantial investment.

This is a game-changer for Nigerians who’ve been restricted by limited US visa options.

Include Your Family

You can include your spouse, children up to 30 years old, and dependent parents aged 55 and above

No Relocation Required

Unlike some countries, you don’t have to live in Grenada or even visit it. The entire process is remote.

Favourable Tax Regime

Grenada does not tax your worldwide income, capital gains, inheritance, or wealth. This is a smart move for high-net-worth Nigerians seeking to preserve and grow their wealth globally.
