Grenada, the “Spice Island”

Grenada is world-renowned as the “Spice Island” for its production of nutmeg and cinnamon. Beyond its natural charm, this Caribbean paradise offers digital nomads a visa program that lets you work legally from the island while enjoying pristine beaches, tropical rainforests, and a warm, welcoming community.

What is Grenada’s Remote Work Visa?

The Remote Work Visa is a permit created in 2021 to attract international teleworkers and entrepreneurs who can support themselves financially without relying on the local labor market.

Initial duration: 12 months.

Renewable: Yes, in additional 1-year periods.

Focus: Make it easier for professionals with stable income to relocate while supporting the tourism and services economy.

Who regulates and processes it

The program is managed by Grenada’s Ministry of Finance, Planning, Economic Development and Energy, in collaboration with the Immigration Authority of Grenada.
