For investors seeking rapid access to global travel, tax-efficient living, or a dependable second passport, Vanuatu offers one of the world’s fastest and most straightforward citizenship by investment programmes. With processing times as short as 60 days and no residency requirement, the Pacific island nation continues to attract entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and high-net-worth individuals seeking freedom without delay.

Speed Meets Simplicity

Unlike many other programmes which require months — or even years — of vetting and document collection, Vanuatu’s process is designed for speed. Following a standard due diligence review, applicants can expect approval and citizenship certificates in a matter of weeks. The passport is issued shortly thereafter, providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 95 countries, including the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, and parts of the Caribbean.

Investment Requirements

The core requirement is a donation to Vanuatu’s Development Support Programme (DSP), starting from approximately USD 130,000 for a single applicant. Family options are available at adjusted contribution rates. There is no language requirement, no physical visit needed, and dual citizenship is permitted under Vanuatu law.

Who Is This Programme For?

Vanuatu’s offering is best suited to those who need a fast solution — whether to enhance their global mobility, secure a geopolitical contingency plan, or open up flexible tax arrangements. Businesspeople with international travel obligations, as well as families with limited time, find the programme particularly appealing.

It is also ideal for individuals who have already obtained residency or citizenship in another country but wish to add an additional layer of global access and security.

Why Timing Is Everything

In today’s fast-changing immigration landscape, delays can mean lost opportunities. With some countries tightening programme eligibility or increasing processing times, Vanuatu provides a rare opportunity to secure a second citizenship with minimal bureaucracy and a maximum speed-to-benefit ratio.
