The Process

From enquiry to passport in 45 days.

A discreet, fully-managed process. You handle the decisions; we handle everything else — from document certification through to government liaison and oath ceremony.

  1. 1

    Day 1

    Confidential Consultation

    A discreet, no-obligation discovery call to confirm your eligibility, explain the two programs in detail, and outline the documents you will need to gather.

  2. 2

    Day 1–5

    Engagement & Pre-Screening

    Sign our engagement letter and submit identity documents for a preliminary internal compliance check.

  3. 3

    Day 5–10

    Stage 1 Document Compilation

    We collate nomination forms, certified copies of passports, police clearances and resumes. Once Stage 1 documents confirmed in order the US$5,500 due diligence fee is paid.

  4. 4

    Day 10–20

    Government Due Diligence

    Your file is submitted to the Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit and Citizenship Commission. Independent background checks are conducted by an internationally-accredited firm.

  5. 5

    Day 20–30

    Approval in Principle

    After Due Diligence clearance and issue of 'no adverse findings' letter, the Stage 2 main application is lodged for approval at the next Citizenship Commission meeting. The successful applicants then receive official letter of Approval in Principle from the Vanuatu Government. The main fee is only payable after this official approval.

  6. 6

    Day 30–40

    Oath of Allegiance

    Once main fee funds are cleared into the Government account your Citizenship Certificate is prepared. The Oath of Allegiance is sworn before a Vanuatu Commissioner, virtually. Your Birth Registration and National ID Card are then issued.

  7. 7

    Day 40–45

    Citizenship & Passport

    The Chairman of the Citizenship Commission signs your Vanuatu Citizenship Certificate. Once biometrics are completed your Vanuatu passport is issued and couriered to your nominated address.
