What if the gas and electricity in your house are suddenly cut off and you cannot cook food? Fortunately, you have barbecue facilities and enough wood to make a tasty meal! This is a simple Plan B that all of us have – but will you solve the problem just as easily if the situation in your home country suddenly turns for the worse? Far-sighted people get second passports for the whole family and are ready to pack their bags whenever they need, and this is an additional layer of protection that we recommend to each of you.

Not all countries offer economic citizenship, so the choice is not as wide as you can imagine. However, there are about 40 options you can choose from, and Vanuatu is one of them. We invite you to our portal to discover more practical information on how to get a second passport by investment in Vanuatu and other destinations. Our specialists are online, and you can ask them any questions.

You can book an individual session with our expert to get any assistance you need in obtaining second citizenship. If you struggle with the choice of a jurisdiction, we will help you for free. We also have a network of local agents who will submit your documents to the immigration authorities (countries that offer economic citizenship programs do not work with foreign individuals directly, so you will need an agent). In short, if you need help, we are just a click away!

How Much Vanuatu’s Citizenship by Investment Costs

The rules are fairly simple:

• If you apply alone, you will need to pay 145,000 US dollars.
• If you submit a collective application that includes your spouse and children under 18, the amount payable will equal 180,000 US dollars.
• If you want to additionally include your child in the application who is aged 18-26 and is a full-time student, you will need to pay an additional amount of 10,000 US dollars.
• Finally, if you want to include your (your spouse’s) parents or grandparents aged 50 and more in the application, you will also have to pay 10,000 US dollars per dependent.

No additional payments are required, which is very convenient.

Benefits of Vanuatu Citizenship

If you need a quick deal, you will not find a better offer than Vanuatu: you will be able to get your passport within 1.5 months! However, there are other advantages that we will discuss in detail below.

Visa-Free Access for Travelers

The passport of Vanuatu will provide visa-free access to 61 countries (as of 2023). In some of them, you will need to get a visa on arrival or an e-visa, which is still more convenient than obtaining it via an embassy. Some of the countries on the list are not available if you get a Caribbean passport, which is a tangible advantage.

Low-Cost Citizenship by Investment Program

If you look at the market of economic citizenship programs (about 40 offers), you will find that Vanuatu is one of the most affordable options – especially if you decide to get passports for the whole family. Many countries announce a certain cost and actually charge up to 50% more in different fees, but this is not the case in Vanuatu: the declared amount is exactly what you will pay.

What is more, other jurisdictions will require an additional fee for accelerated processing of documents (the usual term is six months). Vanuatu offers quick consideration of applicants for everyone: if everything goes as planned, the passport will be yours in just 45 days. This is a very convenient option if there are some adverse events looming on the horizon, like a military conflict or some major upheaval, and you want to be far away from it as a citizen of some country (not as a refugee).

You Failed in Europe or the Caribbean? Vanuatu May Be The Answer!

The Caribbean and the European countries are actively exchanging information on those who did not pass their due diligence checks. It means that if you failed to get economic citizenship in one state, you can abandon the idea of submitting an application in the remaining ones if they are a part of the system.

However, Vanuatu is an isolated country that does not have any agreements on exchanging this kind of information. As a result, if you failed in Europe or the Caribbean, try Vanuatu and you are highly likely to succeed! The due diligence procedure is less rigid here, so feel free to apply if you were turned down due to some minor reason.

Vanuatu is a Safe Haven When It Comes to Sanctions

The western organizations put pressure on the countries that offer economic citizenship to prevent certain nationals from obtaining passports to freely move around the world (we are talking about Syrians, Afghans, and so on). In 2014, all the Caribbean economic citizens lost the opportunity to visit Canada without a visa as there was an incident with the participation of just one Iranian investor, so this is no joke. As a result, the Caribbean jurisdictions are somewhat picky about potential citizens.

If we look at Vanuatu, we will notice less pressure from the US and Europe. The matter is that their citizenship-by-investment program was not widely promoted in Muslim countries and the authorities are highly unlikely to launch such a campaign. It means that you should hardly expect any sanctions following the scandals about admittedly selling passports to terrorists.
