Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment

Vanuatu Development Support Program

The Vanuatu Development Support Program (DSP) is globally recognised as offering the fastest citizenship by investment processing of any program in the world. A single applicant contributes USD 130,000 to the Vanuatu government, and the full citizenship process including passport issuance is completed within approximately 30 to 60 days from submission of a complete application. A couple qualifies for a total contribution of USD 150,000, and a family of four for USD 180,000. Additional dependants can be added for fees ranging from USD 10,000 to USD 25,000 per person depending on age and relationship to the main applicant.

A Vanuatu passport currently provides access to approximately 98 countries and territories. While the travel access is less extensive than some Caribbean or European programs, Vanuatu offers significant tax advantages: there is no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no wealth tax, no estate duty, and no inheritance tax in Vanuatu. There is no physical presence requirement, no interview, and the application documentation requirements are minimal compared to more complex programs. Vanuatu citizenship is perpetual and can be passed to future generations by descent.

Fastest Processing Globally

The Vanuatu DSP offers the fastest citizenship by investment processing time of any program globally, with passport delivery typically achieved within 30 to 60 days of a complete application being submitted, making it the preferred choice for applicants requiring urgent processing.

No Physical Presence

There is no requirement to visit or reside in Vanuatu at any stage of the application process, and citizenship holders are not required to maintain any physical presence in Vanuatu after receiving their passport, making this a fully remote program.

Simple Documentation

The application documentation requirements for the Vanuatu DSP are among the most straightforward of any citizenship by investment program globally, with a streamlined due diligence and approval process that minimises the documentation burden on applicants.

Tax Free Country

Vanuatu levies no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no wealth tax, no estate duty, and no inheritance tax, making Vanuatu citizenship highly attractive for high net worth individuals seeking a tax neutral second citizenship with minimal ongoing tax obligations.
