As of December 2023, the Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment program is still the fastest among existing passport programs. Let us clarify that Vanuatu is not the Caribbean. A small country, not far from Australia and New Zealand, in the South Pacific Ocean, consisting of 83 islands.
However, like the Caribbean, Vanuatu has a completely remote citizenship by investment process. For a minimum investment of $130,000 (USD) plus government fees and legal fees, citizenship can be obtained per applicant. And for $180,000 (USD) for a family of 4 people.
The Vanuatu Citizenship program is valid for the applicant’s spouse, his children, and parents.
Citizenship of Vanuatu: new investment options announced
Recently, information appeared in the press that the authorities of Vanuatu, a small state in the Pacific Ocean, will offer investors an alternative option for contributing to the fund. Namely, to invest in another fund, coconut, as part of the environmental initiative program to switch to climate-friendly fuels by 2030.
The declared investment is $138,000 for a family of 1-4 people. The number of applications will be limited to 120 per year. But for now, this is only a project that does not have an exact date for entry into force.
