The Q4 statistics show that Nigerians accounted for 16 per cent of all applications received year-to-date the highest share among all applicant countries.

China followed with 12 per cent, Iraq nine per cent, and the United States seven per cent, while Pakistan contributed five per cent.

Other countries, including Egypt, India, Lebanon, Vietnam, and Turkey, each represented three per cent of applications.

During the fourth quarter alone, Grenada received 128 new citizenship applications and processed 161, indicating efforts to clear pending cases. Of the processed applications, 154 were approved, and seven were denied.

The total number of new citizens granted Grenadian nationality in Q4 stood at 99, bringing the year-to-date figure to 1,124.

Grenada’s Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) programme allows foreign nationals to obtain citizenship through approved financial contributions, either via investment in government-sanctioned real estate projects or contributions to the National Transformation Fund.

The programme remains popular due to the global mobility benefits attached to a Grenadian passport, which provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to more than 140 countries, including the Schengen Area and the United Kingdom.

The latest figures underscore Nigeria’s growing interest in Grenada’s CBI programme, making it the top source market for applications in 2025.
