Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Programs

Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment is legislated by the Citizenship Act, Cap112 and is framed as the Vanuatu “Development Support Program” (DSP), the Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP), and the Real Estate Option (REO).

All the programs share identical application processes and lead to the same grant of citizenship in terms of privileges and rights. VANTONE as a neutral advisor on behalf of all program options will recommend the most cost-effective option according to applicant personal circumstances and preferences.

Most often, where cost is the primary consideration, then a contribution-based application is the most cost-effective in both the short and longer term.

We endeavour to remove or cover unnecessary or hidden costs that 3rd party agents charge, hence our competitive fees. Please consult us for further advice.

Vanuatu Citizenship Process

Step 1: Pre-Screening

Provide a scanned passport copy of the applicants above 16 years old to ensure they are eligible for the Citizenship Program. This step takes 2–3 days.

Step 2: 1st Stage - Due Diligence with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in Vanuatu

At this stage, a simple set of certified documents must be submitted. This stage takes 10–14 days.

Step 3: 2nd Stage - Citizenship Application and Bank Clearance

To ensure a smooth process, the remaining documents must be submitted along with the second Stage payment. Once this stage is approved, you will receive an approval in principle letter. This stage takes 30–40 days.

Step 4: Oath Ceremony, Passport production and delivery

The Oath Ceremony is held online. Once it is over, the passports and certificates are printed and sent to the desired location through courier (DHL). This process takes 7–10 business days.
