The Grenada Citizenship by Investment programme of 2013 was enacted with global families in mind, whereby individuals of good character obtain citizenship in return for an investment in the country. Grenada, also known as the island of spice, is a caribbean country consisting of Grenada itself and six other islands. Grenada's climate and sandy beaches have been attracting visitors for centuries. It's friendly English speaking population, close ties with the United States and strong business environment, makes Grenada a centre for development and investment.
