The Vanuatu Citizenship Investment Program, launched in 2017, is a unique offering in the southern Pacific Ocean region. Also known as the Development Support Program (DSP), it provides the opportunity to swiftly obtain citizenship by contributing to a local government fund.
The essence of the program is that, for a non-refundable contribution starting at $130,000, you can become a citizen of Vanuatu. The final contribution amount depends on the number of family members included in the application.
The government of Vanuatu processes applications quickly, providing citizenship decisions within a few months.
Obtaining Vanuatu citizenship is ideal for those seeking mobility and freedom of movement around the world. It's also a solid choice for securing your family's future in case of economic or political instability. The program additionally offers a chance for effective asset diversification and reduced tax burden.
