The fastest way to get a second passport and travel to 95 countries visa-free
The Vanuatu citizenship by investment program was launched in 2017. The terms for participation in the program are regulated by Chapter 112 of the Citizenship Law and Vanuatu government order No. 215.
To obtain citizenship by investment, the applicants make a non-refundable contribution to the government fund. The minimum investment amount is $130,000.
The investor can also include their spouse, children and parents in the citizenship application. Applicants for Vanuatu citizenship by investment don’t need to take language proficiency tests or history exams, live in Vanuatu or even visit the country.
The Vanuatu citizenship by investment program is the fastest in the world. It takes a minimum of 1 month to get a passport, and the entire procedure is remote.
Visa-free entry to the UK
Vanuatu citizens can travel visa-free to 95 countries. The passport replaces a visa for spending up to 180 days a year in the UK. Hong Kong and Singapore are also available visa-free.
Long-term US visas
Vanuatu citizens get the B-1/B-2 tourist visas for 5 years. The visa allows the holders to spend up to 180 days a year in the USA. The visa holders can hold business meetings, travel around the country, get medical treatment and enrol to study in courses that do not lead to a diploma or degree.
Tax optimisation
Investors can establish an international business company (IBC) in Vanuatu. Although such companies are not eligible to earn income in Vanuatu, they can enjoy tax incentives. The company and its shareholders don’t pay taxes on corporate profits, personal income, capital gains, inheritance, or donations. Instead, there is a flat annual fee of $300. The beneficial tax regime is valid for 20 years.
Non-refundable contribution $130,000+
Applicants contribute to the National Development Fund to get Vanuatu citizenship by investment. The fund money goes to develop Vanuatu's economy and fight against natural disasters, for example, to recover from the Harold tropical cyclone.
The contribution is not refundable and does not bring income.
