Permanent Residence Permit

The Permanent Residence Permit in Grenada offers foreign nationals the opportunity to secure indefinite authorization to reside in the country. This status is intended for individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to living in Grenada by establishing a record of lawful residence over a sustained period. It is a significant step for those who wish to make Grenada their long-term home, providing a sense of stability and security that temporary visas cannot offer. Permanent residents enjoy the right to live in the country indefinitely, provided they continue to comply with Grenadian laws and immigration regulations throughout their stay.

To qualify for permanent residence, an applicant must demonstrate that they have lawfully resided in Grenada for at least two of the three years immediately preceding their application. The process involves a thorough review of the applicant's background, including the submission of a police certificate of character and other supporting documentation to verify their history in the country. The application fee for this permit is EC$275, though additional costs may be associated with the required security checks and documentation. Obtaining permanent residence is a milestone for many expatriates, serving as a foundational step for those who may eventually wish to pursue citizenship through naturalization after meeting further residency requirements.
