Grenada runs a Citizenship by Investment route via a government-fund donation or an approved real estate purchase (held for at least five years); ordinary long-stay residence permits are also available for those with sufficient income.
A few things to line up early:
Visa rules change often — treat this as a starting point and confirm the latest official requirements before you plan.
Remember: buying a home and gaining the right to live there are usually separate steps. See how ownership works in Grenada, and what it costs to live there in our cost-of-retiring guide.
Grenada does not tax worldwide income and has no capital-gains, inheritance or wealth tax, so a foreign pension is generally not taxed for residents. It is a straightforward, low-tax base, but take advice on your home-country obligations.
Public care centres on the General Hospital in St George's for basic needs, but expats use private clinics for day-to-day care and travel to Barbados, Trinidad or the US for anything major. Expect international health insurance of roughly USD 1,200 a year when younger, rising to USD 3,500-6,000 at older ages. Very easy for British retirees, as English is the official language and driving is on the left as in the UK; Grenada is friendly, laid-back and generally safe with sensible everyday precautions.
The south-west is where most expats settle, around St George's, Grand Anse (the main beach and amenities) and Lance aux Epines (marinas and villas), close to the university and airport.
