Vanuata- Citizenship by Investment

The government programme allows foreigners to obtain citizenship by investing in the economic development of Vanuatu. A candidate must apply to an accredited agent to apply for the program. The registration procedure is entirely remote and takes 2–3 months. Citizenship is valid for life even without residing in the country, but it is required to request a passport renewal every 10 years. It is not necessary to come to the country to get it; the document can be picked up at the consulate at the place of residence.

There is no option to grant citizenship in Vanuatu for real estate investments. To become a participant in the programme, it is necessary to contribute $130,000 to the state's development fund. These funds are non-refundable and do not generate income. In addition to the investment, the applicant must have a minimum of $250,000 in a bank account.

Close relatives, such as spouses, children under 25 years of age, and parents over 50 years of age, dependent on the applicant's financial support, can obtain Vanuatu citizenship at the same time as the applicant.

Vanuatu investor citizenship provides an opportunity to optimise the payment of taxes. Income, inheritance, ownership of property, capital gains, and exports are not subject to taxation in the state. Companies within 20 years of registration do not pay income tax; an annual fee of $300 replaces it.

The Vanuatu passport allows visa-free travel to over 100 countries and a B1/B2 visa to the US.
