Passport Legacy has partnered with the Investment Migration Agency Grenada (IMA Grenada) to introduce Nigerian business leaders and professionals to international investment, citizenship and residency opportunities, with a particular focus on wealth protection and access to global markets.
The firm hosted an intimate business cocktail evening featuring Thomas Anthony, CEO of IMA Grenada, as the special guest. The gathering brought together founders, executives and professionals to discuss investment migration, generational wealth planning, second citizenship and opportunities for international business expansion.
The event opened with remarks from Weyinmi Oritsejiafor, Managing Director of Passport Legacy Nigeria, who outlined the company’s approach to global mobility and international investment advisory. She explained that Passport Legacy operates as a Swiss-owned advisory firm offering services beyond citizenship and passport acquisition.
“At Passport Legacy, we are a Swiss-owned advisory. We do much more than passports. We do investment migration and government advisory,” Oritsejiafor said.
She described investment migration as a strategic consideration for individuals and families seeking greater international mobility, asset protection and opportunities to expand their business interests beyond their home markets.
Oritsejiafor also highlighted Passport Legacy Group’s international real estate portfolio, which includes opportunities in Cyprus, Greece, Thailand, Bali and Dubai. The company’s services extend to corporate solutions, including company formation and business establishment in international markets.
She further discussed the group’s government advisory work, pointing to its engagement with the government of Sao Tome and Principe as an example of its involvement in developing specialised investment migration programmes and institutional frameworks.
The evening’s keynote presentation was delivered by Thomas Anthony, CEO of IMA Grenada, who introduced attendees to Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme and its potential benefits for international investors.
Anthony discussed the programme’s investment opportunities, tax considerations and international mobility benefits, explaining how Grenadian citizenship can provide investors with additional options for conducting business and managing their international interests.
A significant part of his presentation focused on Grenada’s relationship with the United States through the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa. Grenadian citizens are eligible to apply for the E-2 visa, which allows qualifying investors to seek entry into the United States to develop and direct a business in which they have made, or are actively making, a substantial investment.
Anthony contrasted this route with the US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Programme, which offers a different immigration pathway. He discussed the tax considerations associated with establishing a US connection, particularly the distinction between US tax residency and operating a business in the country through an E-2 visa.
These distinctions are relevant to investors considering international expansion, although E-2 visa holders should assess their individual tax obligations with qualified advisers, as visa status alone does not determine US tax residency.

Anthony also addressed Grenada’s regional position within the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). He noted that the country’s membership provides access to a wider regional economic environment, which he described as offering a market of more than 700,000 people.
For Nigerian entrepreneurs and business owners considering international expansion, the presentation highlighted Grenada as a potential option for combining citizenship planning with access to business opportunities in the Caribbean and the United States.
Through its partnership with IMA Grenada, Passport Legacy aims to provide clients with guidance on investment migration options and the requirements involved in pursuing international citizenship and residency opportunities.
The formal presentations were followed by an interactive question-and-answer session, allowing attendees to seek further information about Grenada’s investment migration framework and discuss its relevance to their personal and business objectives.
The evening concluded with a networking session where business owners, executives and other professionals exchanged ideas and established new connections.
