Vanuatu is a South Pacific island nation that comprises over 80 islands with stunning natural landscapes, including volcanic origins, white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and lush tropical rainforests. The country has a unique cultural heritage that reflects its diverse history, with a rich indigenous culture and a vibrant contemporary culture. Vanuatu has a stable political climate, and its economy is driven by tourism and agriculture.

A Vanuatu passport offers numerous benefits, including increased global mobility with visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 100 countries, greater personal and financial security, as well as the opportunity to establish residency in a politically stable, tax-friendly jurisdiction that upholds the principles of privacy and asset protection.
To obtain citizenship in Vanuatu, applicants can make a minimum donation of USD 130,000 to a local development fund. Applicants can secure their passports within 2-3 months, granting visa-free access to over 100 countries, including Singapore and Hong Kong.
The application process is straightforward, and it may take up to 3 months between initiating the process and receiving the citizenship documents. The application process can be divided into the following stages:

This means that Vanuatu passport holders must apply for a visa to enter any country under the European Union. Vanuatuans can still travel visa-free to the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore using their Vanuatu passport.
