Short answer: St Kitts and Grenada both offer donation and related CBI routes. Passports are typically Schengen visa-free; UK travel usually needs an ETA. Grenada is often compared for a future US E-2 because of the treaty link—but nationality obtained by investment faces US residence-year limits before E-2; do not assume “passport then E-2.” Without an E-2 plan, compare total family cost and diligence tempo only.
Conceptual comparison
| Item | St Kitts | Grenada |
|---|---|---|
| Routes | Donation and others | Donation / real estate and others |
| Schengen | Usually visa-free | Usually visa-free |
| UK | ETA-style | ETA-style |
| US E-2 | Not the main story | Treaty country; CBI residence limits apply |
| Decision weight | Brand, cost, processing | Cost plus whether E-2 is real |
How to choose
No US E-2 plan: compare official fees, dependants and expected diligence on one sheet. E-2 plan: obtain US counsel on residence years and evidence before paying a Grenada premium; otherwise the E-2 story does not land.
Global Immigrate note
Request written fee tables from licensed units in both countries and calculate for the real family. Do not pay an E-2 premium without written legal support for the timeline. Donations are non-refundable—tie payment to diligence progress.
