Application Process

  • MONTH 1

    Client onboarding process

    We commence our process with Form 1. Subsequently, this enables us to carry out the initial RIF Trust due diligence. Following this screening process, we will provide you with a Client Agreement (CA) to review and sign.

    Upon receiving the signed agreement and retainer payment, then our legal team will complete all necessary government forms and supporting documents.

We will liaise with the property developer and the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Committee (CBIC) on your behalf.

  • MONTHS 2-4

    Application review and submission

    Before submitting your documents, we comprehensively review your application to ensure your file complies with the CBIC's requirements. Once this review is complete, our legal team will perform its final checks before submitting the relevant forms.

    The CBIC will undertake its own due diligence and review all the paperwork. Throughout this stage, we will continue to work closely with them to ensure your application is timely and efficiently processed.

  • MONTHS 8-11

    Citizenship issued

    The CBIC will assess your application. Once it receives approval, you must make all necessary contributions and pay any applicable government fees.

    Following this step, you will be able to apply for a Grenadian passport which will see you have to worry about visa requirements less when travelling. Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) matters will be a less of a concern for you after you join the lists of Grenada passport holders.
