Vanuatu as part of international citizenship planning.
Vanuatu can be discussed by clients exploring an alternative citizenship route as part of a wider international mobility plan. The value of the discussion is not simply the destination itself, but how the route may fit the client’s objectives, family circumstances and preference for a particular programme structure.
DTC keeps the initial review high-level until the relevant profile and current programme requirements are understood. This allows the client to compare Vanuatu against other available options before deciding which route deserves a deeper assessment.

It is a public mobility measure for current Vanuatu passport holders. It is not an eligibility score and does not predict an application outcome.

Yes. Government procedures, due-diligence standards, qualifying conditions and fees may change, so current rules should be confirmed before an application decision is made.

Vanuatu has government-administered citizenship programmes that include investment-related routes. The exact route, authorized agent requirements and government fee schedule should be checked with the Vanuatu Citizenship Office and Commission.
