We will facilitate communication between you, the property developer, and the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Committee (CBIC) on your behalf.
Application review and submission
Prior to the submission of your documents, we conduct a thorough review of your application to ensure its alignment with the requirements set by the CBIC. Following this comprehensive review, our legal team conducts final checks before submitting the necessary forms.
The CBIC then conducts its independent due diligence and reviews all the documentation. Throughout this phase, we maintain close collaboration with them to facilitate a timely and efficient processing of your application.
