Passport Vanuatu is one of the fastest in the world if obtained through an investment program. An applicant can receive a new document in just 1 month!
The project, which allows one to become a citizen of a small island Pacific country in exchange for supporting the economy, was established in 2012. Not only the applicant but also their family members can become passport holders for a fee, provided the applicant has no legal issues, is aged between 18-65 years, has no serious illnesses, and can prove the legality of their income.
Investors do not need to learn the language, history, and culture of the country, or even visit the island. The fee for obtaining new citizenship is one of the lowest in the world – starting from $130,000, a one-time non-refundable contribution.
Besides investment, becoming a citizen of Vanuatu is possible through:
- Marriage to a Vanuatu citizen.
- As a reward for special services to the country.
- Naturalization – if the applicant has lived in the country for 10 years without violating laws.
Currently, the program is operational, but major changes are expected shortly: stricter reliability requirements for future citizens, new items in the requirements list, and the restoration of the ability to freely visit Schengen countries.
Advantages of Vanuatu passport:
Income from investment citizenship annually contributes about 50% of all revenues to the state treasury. The country's authorities are quite loyal to investors, having issued over 10,000 new passports over the years of the program's existence, with only one refusal.
The new passport offers various privileges to the holder:
- Freedom of movement worldwide. The Vanuatu passport allows visa-free travel to over 100 countries (the list is constantly expanding), including Hong Kong and Singapore.
- Accelerated and simplified visa procedures for Canada, the USA, and Australia.
- If desired, one can maintain citizenship without visiting Vanuatu.
- Information about obtaining new citizenship is strictly confidential and not disclosed to third parties. Dual citizenship is not prohibited by the country's legislation. The applicant's native country mustn't prohibit a second passport.
- A favorable tax climate. Registering a company in Vanuatu exempts it from various taxes for 20 years. The resident's worldwide income, property received as a gift, inheritance, and wealth are not subject to taxation. A new citizen can register a company in an offshore zone.
- Inherited citizenship.
- Opportunity to receive higher education in Britain or France, as many universities in these countries offer discounts, quotas for education, and privileges to Vanuatu citizens.
