Investors have two pathways to acquire citizenship through Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment program
The CNO Future Fund launched by the Vanuatu Government in January 2023 is an investment-linked citizenship program to complement the existing donation route. To obtain Vanuatu Citizenship, the client must pay the following government fees.
To be eligible for Vanuatu citizenship through its Citizenship by Investment Program, the applicant must make a non-refundable financial contribution (donation) to the Government fund.
The investment contribution varies depending on the number of applicants and their ages.
In addition to the required investment, there are other expenses associated with Vanuatu citizenship by investment programs, such as Citizenship Invest professional fees, official application forms, citizenship and passport certification, courier charges, and other related expenditures. Moreover, you will receive a detailed quotation tailored to your situation with no hidden fees.
Vanuatu’s Citizenship by Investment Program conducts a rigorous vetting process ensuring that only credible and eligible applicants are granted citizenship. The Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Immigration and Interpol perform the necessary background and due diligence checks. The program has the fastest due diligence process which takes 7 to 10 days to complete. The due diligence fee must be paid to initiate the procedure.
The Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment program has successfully attracted applicants from all over the world. The investment funds are safe as they are only payable once the citizenship application is approved by the Government. Citizenship Invest is helping hundreds of families changing their lives through this program.
Citizenship Invest (CI) will pre-screen your passport before starting the Vanuatu citizenship application process, and an initial down payment of CI Professional Fees is required to begin your application.
CI dedicated Document Collection team will assist you gathering the necessary documents for FIU’s initial approval (Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit). Government Processing Fees, Due Diligence, and CI submission fees are payable once the file is ready.
Approval in Principle is issued by the Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit. Remaining documents are submitted and 25% of the Government contribution is payable.
Due Diligence report is issued to the Government. Based on the results, the Government makes a decision on your Citizenship application. Once approved you are invited to pay the donation or investment. At this stage the ramaining 75% of the Government financial contribution is payable.
Vanuatu Passport and citizenship certificates are issued. The remaining CI professional fee is due.
The estimated time to receive citizenship approval depends on the due diligence processing time and the specific case
