Legal basis

The statutory test is an ANNUAL figure, not monthly: Remote Employment Act 2021, s.4(1)(c) requires 'proof of an actual annual income of not less than EC$100,000.00 generated outside of Grenada', expected to continue for the permit period (verified in the Act text; the same figure recurs at renewal, s.6(1)(c)). EC$100,000/yr = EC$8,333/month. XCD (East Caribbean dollar) is pegged to USD at 2.70 XCD = 1 USD, so EC$100,000 = ~US$37,037/yr. At USD->EUR 0.8612 (15 Jun 2026) that is ~EUR 31,900/yr = ~EUR 2,660/month. The Act sets NO monthly threshold; the monthly EUR/XCD figures are derived for comparison only and are approximate. The legally binding figure is EC$100,000 per year.

Family surcharges

No higher income threshold is imposed per dependant; the EC$100,000 income test applies to the main applicant (s.4(1)(c); for dependants only paragraphs (a),(b),(d),(f) of s.4(1) apply, per s.4(3)). Dependants are added via higher application/renewal fees rather than an income surcharge (Schedule II). Each dependant must carry their own valid health insurance (s.3(2)(c)).

Insurance requirement, verbatim intent: Health insurance is mandatory and explicitly required. Under the Remote Employment Act 2021, s.3(2)(c) requires the permit holder and every dependant to 'be covered by a health insurance policy valid for the duration of the remote-work permit'; s.4(1)(d) requires 'proof of a health insurance policy valid for the period for which the remote-work permit is intended to apply' at application, and s.6(1)(d) requires it at renewal. The Act prescribes no minimum coverage amount and names no specific insurer type, so any valid private health insurance covering the full permit period satisfies the law. No local enrolment is required, since permit holders are treated as non-resident (s.10).

Tax notes: Under the Remote Employment Act 2021, s.9(1) provides that 'no income tax is payable in respect of any income generated by the non-national, or his or her dependant, outside of Grenada in accordance with this Act.' Section 10 deems the permit holder and dependants NOT resident for the purposes of the Representation of the People Act (Ch.286A), the Citizenship Act (Ch.54A) and the Immigration Act (Ch.145). Section 9(2) together with Schedule III also grants conditional customs-duty exemptions (household effects up to EC$75,000 c.i.f.; 100% duty remission on one private motor vehicle, subject to conditions). The permit explicitly bars earning income from any person or business in Grenada (s.3(2)(b)), so there is no Grenada-source income to tax. There is no days-based residency trigger here, because the statute deems holders non-resident regardless of time spent in the country.
