Grenada Citizenship by Investment Application Process
MONTH 1
Grenada citizenship client onboarding

Prior to the submission of your documents, we rigorously examine your application to guarantee that your file complies with the CBIC's requirements. Once this review is completed, our case processing team will make its final checks before submitting the relevant forms.
The CBIC will undertake its own due diligence and review all your paperwork. Throughout this stage, we will continue to work closely with them to ensure your application is timely and efficiently processed.
MONTHS 6-12
