Qualify for Vanuatu Citizenship

Eligibility for Vanuatu’s citizenship-by-investment (CIP) program generally includes applicants who are at least 18 years old, have no criminal record, and can demonstrate sufficient financial resources to meet the investment requirements. Additional due diligence checks are conducted to ensure applicants meet the program’s standards.

To gain citizenship, an applicant must make a minimum contribution of $130,000 to the country’s Development Support Program (DSP). This amount increases depending on the number of dependents included in the application.

Vanuatu previously allowed cryptocurrency as a form of payment for CIP contributions. However, this acceptance is subject to change, and applicants are advised to confirm current policies with authorized program representatives or agents handling their application.

Testimonials

Gonzalez.

Spain

“Vanuatu was an attractive option for me due to its affordable real estate investment program, starting at just $85,000 USD, and its tax-free policies on income, wealth, and inheritance. The residency process took only 5 business days, which was incredibly fast! Now, I can enjoy the pristine beaches while also exploring opportunities in this beautiful island nation.”

McDonald.

Australia

“After retiring, I was looking for a peaceful and affordable place to settle. Vanuatu, with its reasonable cost of living (rent outside the city center: $900 per month) and friendly local culture, was the perfect choice. The zero-tax system here allows me to enjoy my retirement savings without worry. The only downside is the limited access to specialized medical services, but I’ve covered that with international insurance.”

Müller.

Germany

“I chose Vanuatu because of its tax-free policies and the ability to work remotely. I don’t have to worry about income or capital gains taxes, which gives me financial freedom to grow my savings. Additionally, the permanent residency program doesn’t require me to live here full-time, which is perfect since I travel often. The only challenge is the internet speed in rural areas!”

Patel.

India

“Vanuatu’s Development Support Program (DSP) was the fastest way for me to obtain a second passport. For $130,000 USD (for a single applicant), I received my passport in just 60 days, granting me visa-free access to 129 countries, including the UK and Schengen Zone. This program not only secured my family’s financial future but also provided my children with the benefits of permanent citizenship.”

Sophia.

Korea

“Vanuatu is paradise for me! The rainforests, active volcanoes, and unique Melanesian culture amaze me every day. With a self-sufficiency visa (requiring a monthly income of $2,100 USD), I can enjoy life here while managing my global income. The zero-tax policy allows me to keep every dollar I earn. The only thing to watch out for is the rainy season and occasional cyclones!”
