Life in Grenada

Grenada — the Spice Isle — is one of the Caribbean's most authentic and underdeveloped islands in the best sense: few mega-resorts, a genuine local culture, nutmeg and chocolate plantations, and the Caribbean's only underwater sculpture park. St. George's is genuinely one of the Caribbean's most picturesque capitals. The Citizenship by Investment program (including a path through St. George's University enrollment) is unique. Southernmost Caribbean — rarely in hurricane paths.

🇺🇸 How Americans Are Received

Americans are warmly received. St. George's University (one of the Caribbean's largest medical schools) brings a large American student and academic community. English is universal.

Visa & Immigration

Getting legal

US citizens enter visa-free for 90 days.

No standard digital nomad or retirement visa but tourist extension works for many.
