Grenada digital nomad visa & residency (2026)

The Remote Employment Act 2021 created a specific visa for remote workers aged 18+. It is valid for one year and renewable once (maximum two years). Applicants must work for an employer or clients located outside Grenada.

Applicants must demonstrate a minimum annual income of EC$100,000 (~USD $37,000), hold a valid passport, carry travel/health insurance covering emergency and hospitalisation, and provide a clean criminal record certificate.

There is no online application portal; applications are submitted by mail to a Grenadian embassy or consulate. The fee is USD $1,500 for a solo applicant; USD $2,000 for an applicant plus up to three dependents, with USD $200 per additional dependent. Processing takes approximately 10 business days once documents are received.

Grenada operates a territorial tax system. Income sourced from outside Grenada — as is the case for digital nomad visa holders — is not subject to Grenada income tax, capital gains tax, wealth tax, or inheritance tax.

Administered by the Investment Migration Agency (IMA) under the Citizenship by Investment Act No. 15 of 2013, the CBI programme grants full citizenship via a non-refundable NTF donation (minimum USD $235,000) or an approved real estate investment (minimum USD $270,000, held for five years). There is no prior residency requirement.

Grenada is one of few Caribbean nations party to a bilateral investment treaty with the United States. Grenadian citizens — including CBI recipients — are eligible to apply for the US E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, making the CBI programme particularly attractive for US market access.
