Citizenship by investment is the new trend as Indians seek new migration options
India has been witnessing a rapid growth of private wealth and with that a significant increase in high net worth individuals (HNWIs) interested in greater global mobility.
With the suspension of the US H1B and L1 visas, and the now unaffordable and lengthy EB-5 investment, Indian families wanting to live the American dream are seeking alternative options. Enter the US E-2 Investment Visa, that can easily be obtained via the popular Grenadian Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme.
CBI or economic citizenship is a way of legitimately acquiring a second passport. This offers HNWIs from developing countries like India greater migration options and a way to secure their families future with access to top education, a way to diversify their investment portfolio and hedge against political, economic, and social volatility in their home country. With Grenada citizenship, you get all that as well as visa-free travel to over 143 countries, including the UK, EU Schengen, Russia and China.
Grenada and E-2, a gateway to living in the USA
Importantly, Grenada has an E-2 visa treaty with the USA, meaning approved E-2 visa applicants are eligible to start a business and live in the USA with their family. The spouse of the applicant has open market employment opportunity and children are eligible for in-state tuition, in most states. Processing time for the E-2 visa is usually only two months and can be done at a consulate.
The beautiful Caribbean country of Grenada is seeing increased interest from CBI investors as it is a fast, efficient and straightforward process, taking as little as 60-90 days to process.
