Vanuatu's citizenship by investment is available over two different program options.
The program known as DSP is a $130,000+ non-refundable investment. The other newer program known as CIIP is a $100,000 contribution plus a separate $50,000 refundable investment. For both programs, applicants must also demonstrate a minimum $250,000 bank account balance.
The price for full family citizenship varies depending on your family composition and the program you choose. Learn more about the two program options below or use the calculators at the bottom of this page.
Both government-sanctioned programs offer a valid and safe route to citizenship, typically within just 21 days, and do not require residency in Vanuatu. Additionally, there are no language or history tests required.
To obtain Vanuatu citizenship by investment, applicants must choose between two investment program options:
The Capital Investment Immigration Program (CIIP) allows foreign nationals to obtain Vanuatu citizenship by paying government/application fees and making a redeemable $50,000 investment. This covers a family of up to four and facilitates the naturalization of applicants as Ni-Vanuatu citizens.
The investment is paid to the Vanuatu Coffee Impact Fund after citizenship approval, and the client receives a payment receipt, investment certificate, and citizenship certificate. The $50,000 investment is refundable after 5 years.
There is the option of getting an early refund from the Investment Fund of $25,000 after 2 years instead of the full 5 years, however this forfeits the remaining $25,000 in this scenario.
