Why Apply
Twelve reasons to choose Vanuatu.
A Vanuatu passport unlocks mobility, privacy and fiscal advantages typically reserved for far more expensive programs — without residency, language tests, or personal interviews.
Cost-Effective Second Passport
Among the most affordable government-approved CBI programs globally — significantly less than Caribbean or European alternatives.
Zero Personal Income Tax
Vanuatu levies no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no wealth tax, and no inheritance or gift tax. A genuine zero-tax jurisdiction.
Dual Citizenship Permitted
Vanuatu fully recognises dual citizenship. You are not required to renounce your existing nationality at any stage.
Family Inclusion
Spouse, children up to 29 (if dependent), and dependent parents may be included on a single application.
Strict Confidentiality
Vanuatu does not publish citizenship records or share information with foreign tax authorities. Your status is kept strictly private.
Tax-Friendly Banking
Vanuatu’s banking framework supports global asset protection structures with full privacy under local law.
No Residency Requirement
There is no requirement to visit or reside in Vanuatu before, during, or after the application. The entire process is conducted remotely.
Hereditary for Generations
Citizenship can be passed to your children and grandchildren through descent — a permanent legacy for your family.
No Personal Interview
Approval is granted on the strength of your documentation. There is no mandatory interview or language requirement.
Commonwealth Membership
As a Commonwealth nation, Vanuatu citizenship carries reciprocal rights and standing across 56 sovereign member states.
Stable, Peaceful Democracy
A stable parliamentary democracy with no military service obligation and a peaceful Pacific lifestyle for those who choose to relocate.
Access to 88 Destinations
Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 88 destinations including Singapore, Hong Kong, Russia, Malaysia, and most of the Pacific and Caribbean — see the Henley Passport Index for the current full list.
