Quality of Life
Grenada — the 'Spice Isle' — offers a genuine blend of lush interior rainforest, high-quality beaches, and a small-but-sophisticated expat community centred on Grand Anse. St. George's is the Caribbean's most scenic capital, and the island has invested steadily in private healthcare and international schooling. Its US treaty investor visa access makes it uniquely attractive to those with US business ambitions.
Grenada ranks among the Caribbean's safer islands with low rates of violent crime. Hurricane Beryl (2024) caused significant damage, highlighting the ongoing climate vulnerability of the Southern Caribbean.
St. George's University Hospital and the private Grenada General Hospital provide reasonable care. St. George's University's medical faculty supports a higher standard of local healthcare than most comparable islands.
St. George's University is a world-class medical school attracting students globally, giving the island outsized academic infrastructure. Private K-12 schools serve the expat community.
No capital gains tax, no inheritance tax, no net wealth tax. Income tax applies at up to 28% on locally earned income. Foreign-sourced income is not taxed for non-resident citizens. The E-2 treaty is the key tax planning tool for US-focused investors.

Economic Opportunities
Grenada's economy is diversified across tourism, spice agriculture (nutmeg, mace, cloves), and academic services via St. George's University. The E-2 treaty creates a de facto corridor to US business investment for Grenadian citizens.
Foreign professionals work primarily in the academic and hospitality sectors. The E-2 treaty pathway means many CBI investors focus on US business ventures rather than local employment.
The combination of Grenada citizenship and an E-2 treaty visa enables a unique structure: obtain Grenada citizenship, then apply for US E-2 status by investing USD 100,000–$500,000 in a US business.
Who This Country Suits
Grenada uniquely attracts investors with specific US business ambitions who cannot otherwise obtain US work authorization. It commands a premium in the CBI market because of this treaty advantage.
