Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program Summary & Key Facts
Vanuatu’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) framework provides a direct, government-endorsed path to second citizenship via a contribution route. Processing is streamlined, due diligence is robust, and qualified applicants receive citizenship and a Vanuatu passport.
Key Facts:
Minimum investment: US$130,000
Processing time: typically 1-3 months after complete submission and due diligence.
Family inclusion: spouse and eligible dependents.
Dual citizenship permitted.
No residency requirement.
How the Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program Works
The Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program operates through a straightforward and transparent contribution process approved by the government. Applicants begin by choosing the appropriate contribution category based on the number of family members included in the application.
Once the due diligence review is successfully completed, an approval-in-principle is issued. At that stage, the applicant transfers the required contribution to the government account. After confirmation of payment, citizenship certificates are granted, and Vanuatu passports are issued.
All applications must be submitted through regulated and licensed agents such as NTL Trust’s local office, who coordinate the entire process – from eligibility assessment and documentation to the final issuance of citizenship. The procedure is fully remote and can typically be completed within a few months.
