Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment

First, you'll start by doing a pre-due diligence check. This process is confidential and conducted by a certified compliance officer. The point is to discover any problems at the earliest opportunity. Having cleared this one, you are cleared to move on to he next. This is important because without this step, it may cause the application to behave differently, and at some point, this discrepancy may lead to problems.

Next, you will need to submit all the required documentation, including your passport, police clearance certificates, medical insurance, and bank statements. You will also need to submit a CV. The papers are then taken to the FIU for scrutiny and evaluation. At that time, you will also pay 25% of your investment amount, bringing you one step closer to obtaining citizenship. Your agent will handle everything to ensure the paperwork is in order.

Once the FIU check is completed (typically within 3 or 4 days), your application is then forwarded to the Citizenship Commission. Your lawyer will take care of all the paperwork and ensure that the complete application is filled out, including proof of the first 25% as evidence. The authorities will review your application, and if everything checks out, you will be on your way to becoming a citizen.

After you are approved, you will have 90 days to deposit the remaining 75% of your investment into the Central Bank of Vanuatu. This money also helps to fund development in the country. After this payment, you need to provide your biometric data, which can be submitted remotely through any of Vanuatu's embassies. When you've finished that, you're almost done.

The last stage involves taking an oath of allegiance, which can be administered in Vanuatu or at VU's legal embassy. You and your family will then be issued a Vanuatu passport, which enables you to travel to over 100 countries without demanding a visa. As a new citizen, you'll have access to greater freedom of movement, attractive tax rates, and a more secure financial future.
