- Preliminary compliance checks and document verification by legal specialists
- Correct application submission
- Direct interaction with government authorities
- Adherence to all program requirements and, as a result, a predictable outcome
About the Program
The Vanuatu citizenship by investment program is one of the most accessible and fastest on the market. The application process takes from 3 months and does not require language tests, exams, or mandatory residence in the country. Vanuatu allows dual citizenship, and the passport is issued for life with the possibility of inheritance.
Investors can choose between two options:
- Development Support Program (DSP) — A non-refundable contribution to the government development fund: from $130,000 for a single applicant.
- Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP) — A non-refundable contribution to a cocoa production fund: from $165,000 for a family of up to four.
Passport holders benefit from visa-free or simplified access to 90+ countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Israel. Vanuatu is a tax-neutral jurisdiction, offering opportunities for international business structuring and asset protection.
