If you’re considering vanuatu citizenship by investment, your 2026 decision comes down to two things: choosing the right route and passing due diligence cleanly. We guide serious applicants through the process with a local Port Vila team, clear pricing logic, and a compliance-first approach—without hype, and without promises.
Confidential • Remote-friendly • Compliance-first • 2026-ready
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 referenced in program materials).
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 referenced), and receive a passport.
Most applicants compare two routes in 2026: DSP (all-inclusive tiers) and CIIP (government fee + redeemable pledge). (Always confirm the latest 2026 government schedule before filing.)
Predictable All-Inclusive Tiers
Includes:
Starting from the $100k fee element
Timeline reference: 45-day expedited approval (estimate; confirm 2026).
“Starting at $100,000” is not always the total cost — it’s a fee element under CIIP.
