I will always choose Grenada anytime,any day.

Reasons are;

📌It's one of the safest Island in the Carribbean,and hurricane occurrence is less compared to other islands.

📌I have a chance of having a business in the USA with the E-2 visa agreement between both countries.

📌I have the chance to travel to China for business,without a visa,other Carribbean islands don't enjoy such,and it will boost my importation Business back home .

📌Cheaper than St. Kitts that has more visa free countries in the Carribbean,and others. Etc

I would recommend Grenadian citizenship by investment. The reasons are as follows:

1. It is cheaper than most Caribbean citizenship by investment schemes. With the current high exchange rate, that is a very important factor to consider.

2. It grants you visa-free access to China which most of the other Island countries bar Dominica can't.

3. It has the E visa which enables you to migrate to the U.S. and establish a business there. You can't beat that.

4. Grenada is one of the least affected countries in the Caribbean in regards to natural disasters.

These are my reasons for choosing the Grenadian passport over other Caribbean passports. St. Kitts has more visa-free access countries but it does have access to the Chinese market nor does it give you the option of migrating to the U.S.

Iinteresting to see this topic being discussed. I tried to do same in January of this year but the thread was taken down for some reason I couldn't fathom. This prompted me to open another thread in the investment section, but not much happened there.

Up until about 3months ago,I would have also said Grenada would be the best option, for most of the reasons gforce already noted, the countries you can access (particularly China), as well as the e2 investor visa to the US you can take advantage of due to the treaty of commerce and navigation with the US that Grenada is a part of.

Currently in talks with a market leader in that investment immigration space, although my own focus is majorly on investing outside Nigeria, as they offer that too. Based on my interactions with them, I would advise anyone looking to go this route to consider a cheaper option that is not on your list, which would be the Canada FSUP - $177k

The only downside is unlike Grenada it won't give you citizenship immediately, but you get permanent residency immediately, and in 3 years you get the citizenship. So in my books, still same end.

Pros
* You immediately become a part of the board of an already vetted and approved start-up. The invested sum above buys you a 10% ownership stake and a seat on the board.
* It is cheaper than the other options and will result in citizenship 3 years post-entry
* Canada also is a member country of the treaty of commerce and navigation with the US,meaning you can also use the E2 investor visa like Grenada
* Canada has a lot of other available visa routes into the US, available to its citizens

Cons
* You dont get the citizenship immediately. You have to wait the 3 years, like other PRs (permanent residents)
* Canadian passport not visa free to China.

Any questions on the immigration or the investment options outside Nigeria, feel free to ask. I should be able to possibly have answers to keep the thread going, cos truly not much is discussed on here about this, and those who have the means may not even know these options are available

Very insightful....

In the bolded above,, does it require the investor to have prior knowledge of the business


Are there other hidden charges attached to the 177k?? (is it in CAD or USD..)))

What is the process like?

Can you provide a link as well to read up more on this??


Thanks for this update.

You can do your own research on the Canada Start up visa program.

Again, where this is better/easier from an investment + immigration perspective is that you don't have to own the idea, or start pitching the idea to venture capital firms etc. There is an already existing idea, which has secured backing, has been approved and the company/start-up incorporated. All that is required from you is to have the investment sum required to buy the 10% stake that gets you a place on the board, with the immigration benefit being the icing on the cake.
