Turkey citizenship vs Grenada citizenship
Two E-2 treaty countries compared — donation island vs recoverable asset.
Both Turkey and Grenada are US E-2 treaty countries, so both open the E-2 investor-visa pathway. Grenada is cheaper and adds visa-free access to China, via a donation from roughly US$235,000. Turkey costs more but the spend is a recoverable property and the economy is far larger.
The E-2 angle
Grenada is popular precisely because it is an E-2 treaty country with a low entry point and China visa-free access. Turkey is the other widely used E-2 route. The deciding factors are usually cost structure (donation vs asset) and how much each passport’s reach matters to you.

Which E-2 route is better?
If you want the lowest cost plus China access and the E-2 pathway, Grenada is compelling. If you prefer a recoverable asset, a larger economy, and a base between Europe and Asia while keeping the E-2 option, Turkey wins. Both are valid; we model each for your goals.
Common questions
Yes. Both are E-2 treaty countries, so citizens of either can apply for the US E-2 investor visa, which has its own separate requirements.
Generally yes on entry price (donation from ~US$235,000), but it is non-recoverable. Turkey’s US$400,000 property can be sold after three years.
