One of the fastest citizenship and second passport programmes in the world

Known as the Vanuatu Citizenship Development Support Program

Known as the Vanuatu Citizenship Development Support Program

In 2017, the Vanuatu Government officially launched a citizenship by investment program. The program offers citizenship in as little as two months for those who make a contribution from $130,000 to the Vanuatu Development Fund.

Vanuatu offers the fastest and easiest second passport for anyone seeking an alternative citizenship – all you need is your non-refundable donation to the developing nation and you will be part of a program designed to make your life easier, more secure, and provide a greater sense of stability.

Vanuatu has been an offshore free zone with liberal financial legislation since 1971, which has also become an attractive advantage for investors.

The application process doesn’t require any language tests and a strict due diligence process is conducted on all applicants who must have a clear criminal record.

Additionally, Vanuatu citizenship is hereditary and the passport is valid for life. There are no restrictions on dual citizenship and the investor can apply in any country remotely. Furthermore, there is no requirement to visit or reside in Vanuatu in order to obtain or retain the passport.
