You and your family can obtain the passport of Vanuatu within 6-12 weeks without having to visit the country. You can acquire citizenship of Vanuatu for all members of your family including your spouse, your children, and your parents.
The procedure of acquiring citizenship of Vanuatu is simpler than that in any other country granting citizenship by investment.
The Vanuatu passport gives visa-free access to about 130 countries that include the Schengen countries, all EU states, Great Britain, and the Russian Federation. The Vanuatu passport holders can also easily acquire the Australian 600 subclass visa as well as a tourist visa to the USA.
Vanuatu levies no wealth tax nor property succession tax. Tax residents of Vanuatu do not have to pay income tax either.
You can obtain citizenship of Vanuatu by investing bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. The full donation amount can be paid in crypto or multiple currencies.
Applicants for Vanuatu citizenship require police clearances certificates and a health checkup by a doctor. $500,000 must be evidenced by a bank, brokerage or crypto statements or a personal balance sheet prepared by an accountant.
The main applicant’s spouse, his or her minor children, children between 18 and 25 years old in full time study, and parents over 50 years can be included in the application for Vanuatu citizenship. All adult family members must supply police clearances and be financially dependent on the main applicant.
Contact your licensed immigration agent and discuss the application details. The agent makes a preliminary assessment of the characteristics of your personal situation. You sign an agreement with the agent and submit the required application documents.
Your agent in Vanuatu submits the documents and awaits pre-clearance from the government. Once you receive this, you must transfer the funds to the agent's escrow account at National Bank of Vanuatu, or make payment in crypto.
After receipt of funds by the government, citizenship certificates and Vanuatu passports are issued to you and your dependent applicants. You must then swear an oath by video conferencing or at a Vanuatu diplomatic mission in order to receive your passports.
