Vanuatu Citizenship for Businessman Mikhail from Belarus

Mikhail is a 42-year-old entrepreneur from Belarus, founder of an IT company operating on the international market. Over the last few years, he has been developing projects in cloud services, online training, and automation. His team is spread across different countries, and business requires freedom of movement and stable international status. Mikhail had long lived between the UAE and Turkey but wanted an alternative in the form of a second citizenship.

The client's goals

• To obtain a second passport as quickly as possible to secure his family and assets.
• To obtain citizenship for the whole family: wife, child, and parents.
• Avoid complicated checks, personal visits, and examinations.
• Formulate a tax optimization plan taking into account residency.

Why did Michael choose Vanuatu?

At the stage of consultation with GARANT.in, Mikhail also considered Turkish and Caribbean citizenship. However due to political risks, long processing time, and restrictions on filing for citizens of Belarus, the Vanuatu program became optimal. It turned out to be not only the fastest but also one of the few programs available for applicants from Belarus.

Advantages of Vanuatu citizenship

Vanuatu is an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean with an independent jurisdiction and a developed program of economic citizenship. Citizenship of this country gives the applicant:

• Get your passport in 30-60 days - one of the fastest passport programs in the world.
• Visa-free entry to the UK, Schengen, Hong Kong, and over 95 countries.
• No residency, interview, or language requirements.
• No tax on worldwide income, capital gains, and inheritance.
• Ability to include not only spouse and children but also parents in the application.

How was the process with GARANT.in

1. Consultation and option selection

In an online meeting with a GARANT.in personal consultant, Michael was offered programs that suited his goals. After assessing the risks and timing, a $130,000 donation format to the Vanuatu government fund, plus a family member fee, was selected.

2. Document preparation

The GARANT.in team provided a detailed checklist, and translated and legalized the client's documents. The documents were collected:

• Passports of all family members (including parents).
• No criminal record certificates for all adults.
• Proof of source of income (business financial statements, bank statements).
• Medical certificates.
• Documents on family ties (birth certificates, marriage certificates).

3. Due Diligence and filing

GARANT.in's legal department conducted an internal check of all data to avoid rejections. The file was submitted directly to the Vanuatu Investment Citizenship Commission. Communication with the officials was done on behalf of the client.

4. Approval and issuance of passports

After 42 days Mikhail received the approval and after another 6 working days, he received the passports for the whole family. All documents were delivered by diplomatic pouch to the address in Dubai. No personal presence was required.

Results

• Mikhail and his entire family received their second citizenship in record time.
• He became a tax non-resident and built an asset protection strategy.
• He opened international accounts and investment portfolios.
• Enrolled his parents in the program, freeing them from visa restrictions when traveling to Europe.
