Vanuatu Permanent Residency Program
The Vanuatu Permanent Residence Program Immigration Act was launched in 2011. It allows permanent residence in one step. It was initially used for Hong Kong investment clients as a third-country identity (mainland residents), and was later widely used for overseas identity reserves, enrollment in domestic purely foreign international schools, travel with foreign passports, exit convenience, tourism and retirement settlement in Vanuatu, and early renewal of Chinese passports.
Citizenship by investment is a government mandate
Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment was first launched in 2017, offering Vanuatu citizenship to applicants who invest at least $130,000 into a local development fund. The program, officially known as the Vanuatu Development Support Program (DSP), is one of the fastest citizenship and second passport programs in the world and the only one of its kind in the Asia-Pacific hemisphere. Vanuatu is an archipelago of 80 islands in the South Pacific east of Australia and is part of the Commonwealth. The official languages are English and French. Vanuatu offers citizenship with full Vanuatu rights (less voting rights and political participation rights).
Project Overview
Processing Time: Average processing time for obtaining Vanuatu citizenship is 10 years for a direct investment of $130,000
Visa-free countries: Vanuatu passport holders can travel to 148 countries without a visa.
Investment Type: Donation.
Investment costs: Vanuatu’s Citizenship by Investment Program requires a government donation of US$130,000 for a family of up to four applicants. US$50,000 of this is invested in shares in approved funds and can be redeemed after five years. This effectively means the net cost of the program is US$80,000, plus processing and due diligence fees.
Family Dependents: Spouse's financially dependent children, and dependent parents over 65 years of age.
Passport Validity: The Anuwatu passport is valid for ten (10) years for adults and minors.
