How to Get Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment
8 Steps to Second Passport
Our experts guide you through every step of the process, ensuring a successful application.
Initial consultation
Our specialists will explain, in detail, all the nuances of the program, help you choose the best investment option, and tell you about all the intricacies of filling out an application.
Preliminary legal check
The Vanuatu government will conduct a comprehensive check of all adult participants to ensure they meet the program requirements. At this stage, the investor pays the cost of the check for the entire family.
Submitting an application
After preliminary approval from the Vanuatu government, we collect and submit a package of documents and an application for citizenship.
Making the first payment
The first payment is made to the selected fund – 25% of the total contribution amount.
Basic check
The Vanuatu Citizenship Commission will consider the application at its next meeting.
Final payment and oath
Once approved, the remaining 75% of the grant amount is paid. Participants in the program will be asked to take an oath.
Submitting biometrics
After approval and before passport issuance, the investor and family members submit biometrics at a designated enrollment center in Vanuatu, Hong Kong, or New Caledonia. Our company has an office in Dubai — our specialists will gladly guide you through the procedure.
Getting a passport
After the oath, final verification, and biometric submission, the passports are issued to the investor and eligible family members.
