Vanuatu offers one of the fastest and most accessible citizenship-by-investment programs. Investors can obtain a second passport in a few months by making a government donation. Lyle Julien, Investment Programs Expert at Immigrant Invest [https://immigrantinvest.com/] explains how to qualify, the benefits of Vanuatu citizenship, and the step-by-step application process.

What is Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment

Vanuatu citizenship by investment [https://immigrantinvest.com/vanuatu-citizenship-by-investment-en/] program allows foreign investors to obtain citizenship through a financial contribution to the country's development fund. The program is known for its speed, minimal requirements, and tax advantages.

Successful applicants receive a Vanuatu passport, which provides visa-free travel to many countries. The program was established to attract foreign capital and boost the country's economy. While other countries offer similar programs, Vanuatu stands out for its efficiency and simplicity.

9 Benefits of Vanuatu Passport by Investment

*
Fast processing time. The application process takes about 1-4 months, making it one of the fastest citizenship programs in the world.

*
Visa-free travel. Vanuatu passport holders can travel to over 90 countries without a visa, including the UK, Singapore, and Russia. This provides excellent mobility for business and leisure travelers.

*
No residency requirement. Investors do not need to live in or visit Vanuatu to obtain or maintain citizenship. Unlike other programs, there is no need for physical presence, making it convenient for busy professionals.

*
Favourable tax policies. Vanuatu has no personal income tax, wealth tax, inheritance tax, or capital gains tax. This makes it an attractive destination for investors seeking financial privacy and tax efficiency.

*
Dual citizenship allowed. Investors do not need to renounce their original nationality to become Vanuatu citizens. This ensures they can enjoy the benefits of multiple citizenships without legal conflicts.

*
Confidential process. The application process is private, with no public disclosure of new citizens. This is a key advantage for those seeking discretion.

*
No language test. There is no requirement to learn a new language or pass a cultural integration test. Many other citizenship programs require applicants to demonstrate language proficiency, making Vanuatu a more accessible option.

*
Citizenship for family members. The main applicant can include a spouse, children, and sometimes parents in the application. This allows families to secure a second citizenship together.

*
Lifetime citizenship. Vanuatu citizenship is permanent and can be passed to future generations. There are no renewal requirements, unlike some residency programs that require periodic extensions.

Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Requirements

Eligibility criteria. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, have no criminal record, and prove they have sufficient funds to make the required investment. The program is open to individuals from most countries, although some nationalities may be restricted.

Investment options. The only available investment option is a non-refundable donation to the Vanuatu Development Support Program. The required contribution is:

*
$130,000 for a single applicant;

*
$150,000 for a married couple;

*
$165,000 for a family of three;

*
$180,000 for a family of four.

Additional fees apply for Due Diligence and processing. While the DSP is the primary route, there is also a lesser-known Real Estate Option, which requires government approval. However, the DSP remains the most straightforward and widely used investment route.

How to Apply for Vanuatu Second Citizenship

Step 1. Choose an authorised agent. Only government-approved agents can submit applications for the Vanuatu citizenship program. Working with a reputable agent ensures a smooth process and compliance with regulations.

Step 2. Pass Due Diligence. Applicants must provide a police clearance certificate and undergo background checks. Vanuatu authorities conduct strict checks to ensure that only reputable individuals receive citizenship.

Step 3. Pay the initial deposit. A non-refundable Due Diligence fee is required before proceeding with the application. This fee covers background verification and administrative costs.

Step 4. Submit required documents. This includes a passport copy, birth certificate, proof of funds, and other supporting documents. Ensuring accurate documentation speeds up the approval process.

Step 5. Receive pre-approval. If the application is successful, the government issues a letter of approval in principle. This confirms the applicant meets all criteria.

Step 6. Make the full donation. The investor transfers the required amount to the Vanuatu government. Payment is made through an escrow account to ensure transparency.

Step 7. Obtain citizenship and passport. After the final payment, the applicant receives a certificate of naturalisation and a Vanuatu passport. The passport is issued within a few weeks after completing the payment.

Conclusion

Vanuatu's citizenship-by-investment program offers a quick and simple way to obtain a second passport. With fast processing, tax benefits, and no residency requirements, it is an attractive option for investors. The process is straightforward, making it a convenient solution for those seeking greater global mobility and financial advantages.
