Application stages and timing
Official stages, distinct from observed waits
Selected official evidence checked . Other profile facts retain their own review dates.
- Decision and payment
- IMA describes screening and a ministerial decision before the successful applicant is instructed to complete the contribution or property purchase. Investment Migration Agency Grenada ↗
- Nationality and passport
- Proof of payment precedes the registration certificate. The local agent then applies for a passport using that certificate. No end-to-end duration is verified here. Investment Migration Agency Grenada ↗
Preparation, screening, payment, nationality, production and passport delivery are distinct stages. The target above applies to its named stage.
Verify the submitting agent
Check the legal identity of the agent responsible for submitting your file against the Investment Migration Agency Grenada official register ↗. Ask who will submit the application if you engage a promoter or intermediary. Register inclusion is not a service-quality rating or a guarantee of approval.
