Vanuatu DSP Citizenship by Investment: Fees, Eligibility, Documents & Process

Current rules require the relevant visas for travel to the UK and Schengen area. The appropriate visa, transit and entry conditions depend on the trip, route and any existing immigration permissions.

A passport does not automatically change tax residency or the source of income. If you continue to live or operate a business in another country, its tax rules may still apply to you and your company.

China does not recognise dual nationality for Chinese citizens. A Chinese citizen settled abroad who voluntarily acquires another nationality may lose Chinese nationality under Article 9 of the Nationality Law. Individual circumstances should be reviewed before applying.

Family members who meet the applicable programme requirements may be included under the relevant categories. Their ages and relationships are sufficient for an initial discussion; supporting documents follow later.

Application, oath-taking and passport attendance requirements should be checked separately. The proposed arrangements will identify any stage requiring your personal attendance.

The process starts with an initial discussion and route assessment, followed by engagement, documents, background checks and submission. Further checks or documents may be requested, and processing times depend on the actual review.

The responsible Vanuatu authorities decide applications. A consultant coordinates the agreed preparation and process but cannot make an approval decision on the government’s behalf.

Tell us your family size, existing nationality or residence status, intended timing and priorities. You do not need to send passport scans or bank statements at this stage.

Once the route, family members and services are established, review an itemised written quotation, payment milestones and refund terms. This website does not collect application payments.

Common categories include identity documents, police clearances, a CV, medical information, family records and financial supporting documents. A specific checklist depends on the route and your circumstances.

Not necessarily. The tax framework is not exclusive to citizenship applicants. Residence, business activity and tax treatment should be considered separately from nationality.

Eligibility needs a separate review. Certain applicants must satisfy nationality holding periods, actual overseas residence and institution-specific requirements; a newly issued passport alone does not establish eligibility.

Earlier programme materials describe a streamlined route without a standard language or education examination. Identity checks, interviews or additional assessments may still be required under the rules in force.

The investment citizenship route differs from ordinary naturalisation that requires long-term residence. Long-term settlement is generally not a precondition of the investment route, but oath, identity and document steps may still require attendance.

Earlier DSP rules address eligible dependent students aged 18–25 and qualifying dependent parents. Family relationships, dependency, age and current requirements must be assessed individually.

Our historical checklist includes an asset statement, employment or income evidence, bank confirmation and recent bank statements, potentially covering six months. The exact documents depend on current due diligence requirements.
