The Process of Obtaining Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment.

The Process of Obtaining Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment.

Vanuatu offers one of the fastest and most cost-effective Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs, granting investors a second passport in as little as 30–60 days. 

The Vanuatu Development Support Program (DSP) allows qualified applicants to obtain full citizenship and a Vanuatu passport by making a one-time donation to the government fund.

Pre-Screening & Eligibility Check (2–5 Days)

Before starting the process, applicants must undergo a pre-screening due diligence check to confirm eligibility. This involves:

✔️ Submitting a passport copy and background information for an initial review.

✔️ Paying a non-refundable due diligence fee (approx. $5,000).

Initial Payment & Document Submission (1–2 Weeks)

Once approved, the applicant must:

✔️ Submit the required documents, including a passport copy, proof of funds, police clearance, and medical certificate.

✔️ Pay 25% of the investment amount to begin formal processing.



Government Due Diligence & Approval (2–4 Weeks)

The Vanuatu Citizenship Commission conducts a full background check on the applicant. If successful, the government issues an Approval in Principle (AIP).

Final Investment Payment & Oath of Allegiance (1–2 Weeks)

✔️ Pay the remaining 75% of the investment.

✔️ Attend an Oath of Allegiance ceremony, which can be done remotely via video call or at a Vanuatu consulate/embassy.
