Does this lead to permanent residence?
No pathway. Permit holders deemed non-resident by law (s.10); time doesn't count toward PR.
Grenada's Remote Employment Act, 2021 (Act No. 3 of 2021), full text read via the Grenada Parliament's own site (grenadaparliament.gd, the gazetted/assented Act), Section 10 'Presumption of non-residence', states a permit holder and dependants 'are deemed to not be resident' for purposes including 'the Immigration Act, Chapter 145' — Grenada's PR-governing statute. This is an explicit statutory exclusion, directly stated, not inference. No other section of the Act (12 sections + 3 schedules) references PR or a conversion path.

What it costs to live there
$619 per person, per month. That is what one resident of Grenada spends in an average month with housing included — not what a newcomer renting at market rates will spend, which is higher, and furthest above it in the cheapest countries.
Cost of living confidence: high · checked 2026-09-20UN Statistics Division, National Accounts Main Aggregates, reference year 2024: household consumption expenditure including NPISHs, current US$, divided by population and by twelve. The World Bank publishes no series for Grenada, so the UN's copy of the same measure stands in. Population: World Bank population (SP.POP.TOTL, 2025). This is what one resident spends in an average month with housing included, since national accounts count the imputed rent of owner-occupiers. It is an average over the whole population, not a visitor's budget, so a newly arrived remote worker renting at market rates will spend more - see the city figures for what that looks like.

How to apply
- Check you clear the requirements above — $3,083 a month is the figure this row records.
- Gather what the official page asks for. Expect proof of income, a passport, health insurance and a criminal-record check as the common core.
- Apply in person or by post — this programme has no online route.
- Sort out where you will stay for the first stretch. Airlines check this at the desk and will not board you without it, whatever your visa says —what counts as proof of accommodation.
- Verify every figure on the official page before you spend money. Thresholds are set in local currency and move every year.
Fee USD 1,500 single / 2,000 family. Paper form via embassy; low-profile.
