Oceania
Vanuatu is a remote island state in Oceania, far from the major power blocs, with more than 80 islands in the South Pacific. The country is politically calm, internationally recognized, and strongly shaped by nature, community, and independence. Since 2017, Vanuatu has offered a state-run Citizenship by Investment program.

Vanuatu is an option for situations where time suddenly becomes scarce. Citizenship can be obtained in a few months and creates immediate citizenship-level separation without a stay requirement. With tax residency in the country, there are no taxes on income, wealth, or inheritance.
Visa-free or facilitated access to around 100+ countries, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong. EU Schengen access is suspended.
Vanuatu generally does not levy personal income tax, capital gains tax, wealth tax, or inheritance tax for tax residents.
A main applicant can include a spouse, children usually up to age 25, and dependent parents in the application. The program is designed for spouses and children, not for larger family groups, making it less flexible than Caribbean programs.
Vanuatu is not a passport for everyday use, but a tactical fallback option. It works quickly and is formally reliable, but comes with limited mobility and lower international acceptance.
We guide you through the entire process — from the initial consultation to passport handover. Discreetly, efficiently, and with a personal German-speaking point of contact.
To obtain Vanuatu citizenship by investment, a minimum contribution of 130,000 USD under the Development Support Program (DSP) is required. After approval, investors receive full citizenship and a Vanuatu passport, usually within 3 to 5 months. The passport provides visa-free or facilitated access to over 100 countries and supports international mobility.
