The Republic of Vanuatu
A Pacific nation, and the document it issues
Eighty-three islands between Fiji and New Caledonia, an English- and French-speaking republic, and one of the few countries whose citizenship can be granted without you ever moving there.
Why Vanuatu
What the programme actually gives you
Vanuatu's citizenship-by-investment route is built around speed and simplicity. These are the points that matter most to the families I work with.
A tax-friendly base
Vanuatu levies no personal income tax, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax.
A government route
A recognised citizenship-by-investment programme, usually completed inside 60 to 90 days.
Your whole family
A spouse and dependent children can be included on a single application.
No residency to serve
The process is handled remotely. You never have to travel to Vanuatu or live there.
Something you pass on
Citizenship carries forward to your children — long-term security, not just easier travel.

Before we start
What you will need to hand
Nothing here is unusual, and none of it has to be ready before we speak. This is simply so you know what the file looks like once we begin.
- Current passportA clear copy of the photo page for every applicant
- Birth certificatePlus a marriage certificate where a spouse is included
- Police clearanceFrom your country of citizenship or residence
- Proof of addressA recent utility bill or tenancy document
- Source of fundsA bank reference or statement showing where the investment comes from
- Passport photographsTaken to standard passport specification
Your exact list depends on your nationality and who you are including. I confirm it for you in writing after the first call, so nothing is collected twice.
Payment structure
Staged, and set out in advance
You never pay the full amount up front. Each stage is released only once the one before it has cleared.
- $130,000 Single applicant Government donation
- $170,000 Family of four Government donation
- 2–3 months Processing time From a complete file

Common questions
What people ask me first
Do I have to travel to Vanuatu?
No. The whole process is handled remotely, and there is no residency requirement before or after approval. Plenty of citizens have never set foot there.
Can I keep my current citizenship?
Vanuatu itself permits dual citizenship. Whether your own country does is the part to check, and it is one of the first things I look at with you — some countries restrict it, and that changes the advice.
How much does Vanuatu citizenship cost?
For 2026 the government donation is $130,000 for a single applicant and $170,000 for a family of four. It is paid in stages: $5,000 first for FIU clearance, then 25% when your documents are filed, and the remaining 75% once the application is approved.
How long does it take?
Typically 60 to 90 days from a complete file. The first seven working days go to FIU clearance; the rest depends mainly on how quickly your documents come together.
Who can I include with me?
A spouse and dependent children can go on a single application. We work out the right structure during the assessment so nobody is left to apply separately later.
What happens if the application is refused?
This is exactly what the FIU clearance stage at the start is for — it surfaces a problem before the larger payments are made. I will tell you plainly if I think a file is unlikely to pass.
Which countries can I travel to visa-free?
Visa-free lists are set by each destination country and they change, so I would rather give you the current position for the countries you actually travel to than publish a list here that ages. Ask me on WhatsApp and I will go through it with you.
