The Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program is safeguarded by Grenada's legislation, specifically the 'Citizenship by Investment Act 15, 2013,' a documented and published law forming part of Grenada's legal framework. This law allows individuals to apply for naturalization and potentially attain citizenship by making substantial investments in Grenada. Investment avenues include making a contribution to the National Transformation Fund, supporting Grenada's development, or investing in a government-approved real estate project. Both options are outlined and governed by the legislation to ensure transparency and adherence to the program's objectives.
