Four Best Countries For Second Citizenship
Greneda Passport
Grenada grants citizenship within just three months of filing. No personal visit is required. A key feature is that siblings, parents and grandparents of the main applicant or their spouse, can be included in the application.
There are two options:
- The applicant is expected to donate a minimum of $150,000 U.S. to Grenada’s National Transformation Fund. For a family of four, the investment by way of a donation would be $200,000 U.S.
- A second attractive option is to invest $220,000 U.S. as a co-owner in a local real estate project for five years, which compares favorably to what other countries want in return for their citizenship.
A Grenada passport allows visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 143 destinations, including China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia and the U.K., as well as Europe’s Schengen Area. Another exclusive benefit for a Grenadian passport holder is that it can be a bridge to an American E-2 investor work visa thereby accessing the U.S.A.
St. Kitts and Nevis Passport
The first country that deserves special attention is St. Kitts and Nevis. This country runs the oldest citizenship by investment program in the world. It offers its citizenship to investors within just 60 days from when the application is submitted.
At the moment there are two categories for investment :
1. A donation of $150,000 U.S. into a Sustainable Growth Fund for an individual or even for a family of up to four, or 2. Buy a property for $200,000 U.S. for seven years, or buy a $400,000 U.S. property for five years, which will give an applicant and any family members full citizenship following the payment of processing fees.

The passport obtained by native Dominican citizens is not any different from the passport obtained through the Dominica Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program.
