Grenadian Citizenship for a UAE Resident — Muhammed’s Case from Dubai

Muhammed A. is an entrepreneur and private investor living in Dubai. Originally from Jordan, he is 52 years old and has been running an investment holding for over two decades, with assets in real estate, logistics, and tech startups across the Middle East and Asia. Amid growing global volatility and increasingly complex logistics and regulations, he began to view second citizenship as a strategic necessity.

Client Goals and Objectives

• Visa-free mobility — access to key countries in Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean.
• Ease of international business — simpler procedures for opening bank accounts and registering companies outside the Middle East.
• Legal and tax diversification of assets.
• Access to the U.S. E-2 investor visa through Grenadian citizenship.
• Confidentiality and speed of the process.
• Citizenship for the entire family.

Why Grenada?

Grenada is not just a scenic Caribbean island. It is one of the few countries offering a legally established and internationally recognized Citizenship by Investment Program that combines transparency, reliability, and flexibility. The program operates under the direct oversight of the Grenadian government and adheres to the highest international compliance standards. For investors from the Middle East, including UAE residents, it represents a well-thought-out tool for strategic mobility and asset protection.

One of the key advantages of Grenadian citizenship is its exceptional freedom of movement. A Grenadian passport allows visa-free access to 148 countries, including major destinations such as the United Kingdom, the Schengen Zone, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This is particularly valuable for businesspeople who need flexibility in international travel without undergoing lengthy visa procedures.

What sets Grenada apart from other Caribbean programs is another standout benefit — eligibility for the U.S. E-2 investor visa. Grenada is the only country in the region whose citizens can legally and relatively quickly obtain this visa through investment, making it especially attractive to those considering the United States as a market for business expansion or a place for family life and work.

The citizenship application process is fully remote and does not require a personal visit to the island — everything can be done from Dubai or any other city. This is especially convenient for busy entrepreneurs who value their time. Moreover, the program imposes no requirements for language skills, education, or professional background, making it accessible to a wide range of applicants.

Another important factor for Muhammed was the program's family-friendly conditions. Within a single application, he was able to include his spouse, adult children under 30, parents over 55, and — under certain conditions — his siblings. Siblings must be at least 18 years old, unmarried, and without children. This family orientation makes the program especially appealing to those who wish to secure equal opportunities for their loved ones’ development and protection.

Grenada is not just a second passport — it is a comprehensive strategic instrument that provides access to global markets, legal and financial flexibility, and enhanced personal and family security.

Steps in Muhammed’s Citizenship Process

1. Consultation and Investment Path Selection
Muhammed consulted with GARANT.in experts, who presented two available options:

• Non-refundable contribution to Grenada’s National Transformation Fund (NTF): from $150,000 for a single applicant or from $200,000 for a family of up to four

• Investment in a government-approved real estate project: minimum $220,000, with the option to sell the property after five years

Given his interest in obtaining a U.S. E-2 visa in the future, Muhammed chose an investment property that qualifies under both pathways.

2. Document Preparation
The GARANT.in legal team provided full support and collected the necessary documents, including:

• International passports, IDs, and police clearance certificates.
• Proof of funds (tax returns, bank statements).
• Medical certificates and family documents (marriage and birth certificates).
• Application forms, photos, and consent forms.

3. Application Submission and Due Diligence
The file was submitted through a licensed local agent in Grenada. The government conducted an in-depth due diligence check, which took approximately 60 days.

4. Approval and Passport Issuance
Three and a half months after initiating the process, Muhammed and his family received official approval. Passports were delivered by courier to Dubai.

Results and Benefits

• Second citizenship obtained, with visa-free access to 148 countries.
• Opportunity enabled to obtain the U.S. E-2 investor visa and relocate.
• Simplified international business setup in Europe, Asia, and offshore jurisdictions.
• Full confidentiality and protection of personal data.
