We are an independent information resource and service provider. We facilitate your application process by coordinating with local stakeholders. We work with authorised/designated agents; proof of agent authorization can be provided upon request.
We ensure you navigate the official program requirements correctly:
In Vanuatu, citizenship by investment (CBI) is a structured process where eligible applicants contribute under approved routes and undergo due diligence screening (including FIU-related checks).
Rigorous checks on identity, background, and source of funds are the first step before any approval.
Choose between the standard DSP donation tiers or the CIIP contribution structure based on family size.
Successful applicants receive a certificate, take an oath (video conference), and receive a passport.
Success depends on who you work with. A Vanuatu citizenship by investment consultant or lawyer must channel applications through an authorised agent designated by the Citizenship Commission.
What an authorised agent does:
Most applicants compare two routes in 2026: DSP (all-inclusive tiers) and CIIP (government fee + redeemable pledge).
Predictable All-Inclusive Tiers
* Estimates including gov fees + agent fees. Confirm final quote.
Fee + Investment Structure
Total investment typically higher when adding legal/agent fees.
When calculating the true vanuatu cbi cost, ensure your quote includes:
This depends on the officially approved route available at the time of filing. Many applicants use donation/contribution routes (DSP/CIIP) for simplicity. Always confirm the current approved route list before proceeding, as options for "vanuatu citizenship by real estate investment" require specific government designation of projects.
A structured workflow ensuring compliance at every step.
Some marketing uses terms like "vanuatu citizenship in 30 days" or "fastest citizenship by investment 2026". Real processing is case-dependent and can take longer depending on FIU volume and Commission scheduling. We never guarantee timelines; confirm current processing before filing.

No. This is an independent website providing guidance and services. We are not the Government of Vanuatu. We work with authorised agents designated by the Citizenship Commission.
Authorised agents (or designated agents) are the only entities legally permitted to submit citizenship applications to the Citizenship Commission on behalf of applicants. You cannot submit directly without one.
Vanuatu offers a regulated Citizenship by Investment program defined by law. It is not a commercial product you simply "buy" off a shelf; you must pass strict due diligence checks (financial and criminal background) and make a qualifying contribution to the nation.
While marketing often claims "30 days", the real timeline is case-dependent. It typically involves FIU due diligence (often 1–2 weeks) followed by Citizenship Commission approval. Total time can range from 4 to 8 weeks depending on government volume and complexity.
Costs depend on the route (DSP or CIIP) and family size. For a single applicant, DSP generally starts around $135,000 (all-inclusive estimate). CIIP has a $100,000 fee element plus a $50,000 redeemable pledge. Always confirm the full breakdown including due diligence and administrative fees.
Yes. The program is fully accessible to residents of the UAE (Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai). The process is largely remote, using digital communication and courier services for physical documents.
The process is typically document-driven. However, authorities reserve the right to request clarifications. Currently, a video oath ceremony is required upon approval.
