FAQ – Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment
Vanuatu’s Citizenship by Investment framework allows eligible applicants and qualifying family members to obtain citizenship through approved investment routes, subject to formal government review, due diligence, and document compliance.
Vanuatu’s investment framework is commonly presented through two core pathways: the Development Support Program (DSP) and the Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP). Each route differs in structure and capital profile, and suitability depends on the applicant’s objectives.
A typical entry point begins from USD 130,000 for a single applicant under a contribution-based route, with additional costs for eligible dependents and applicable fees depending on the chosen pathway.
CIIP is structured around an investment profile that may include a component intended to be returned after a defined holding period, subject to the program’s rules and the terms of the approved structure. This can be relevant for applicants who prefer a more capital-structured solution.
Vanuatu is widely selected for its efficiency. In many cases, processing can be completed within one to two months, depending on document readiness, due diligence clearance, and completion of the required procedural steps.
Biometrics submission is part of the process and is completed at designated locations, in line with the applicable procedure at the time of application.
Applications can typically include eligible dependents such as a spouse, children, and parents, subject to program eligibility criteria and supporting documentation requirements.
Vanuatu citizenship may provide visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to a range of destinations. Travel rights can change over time; therefore, visa requirements should always be confirmed based on the destination country’s current policy before travel.
A standard application typically includes identity documents, civil status records, police clearance certificates, medical documentation, and evidence of lawful source of funds. Proper legalization and consistency across documents are important for a smooth review.
Applications follow a formal review process that typically includes document verification, due diligence checks, approval in principle, completion of the qualifying investment, and final issuance steps, after which citizenship documentation and passport issuance are completed.
