Citizenship is hereditary and extends to multiple generations, offering lasting benefits to your entire family. Spouses, children, parents, and even grandparents can be included in the application, creating a comprehensive legacy plan that secures your family's future mobility and financial flexibility.

What is the history of Vanuatu's Citizenship by Investment Program?
Vanuatu's current citizenship program, known as the Development Support Program (DSP), was established on January 1, 2017. This program builds on the experience of two previous initiatives: the Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP) and the Vanuatu Economic Rehabilitation Program (VERP). The DSP was designed to streamline the citizenship process while ensuring investments directly support Vanuatu's national development goals. This evolution of programs demonstrates Vanuatu's commitment to refining its citizenship offerings based on practical experience and changing global standards for investment migration.
How is the DSP & CIIP contributing to Vanuatu and the countries economic and developmental goals?
We are committed to contributing to the overall future of Vanuatu and its citizens.
The program(s) are designed to attract high-net-worth individuals who can contribute to Vanuatu's economic diversification through direct investment. These qualified investors often bring international business expertise and connections that can catalyze economic growth across multiple sectors.
Secondly, the program generates significant government revenue directly funding Vanuatu's development initiatives. This includes critical infrastructure projects, public services enhancement, and economic resilience programs. This funding mechanism allows Vanuatu to accelerate its development timeline while maintaining fiscal independence.
The program aligns with Vanuatu's broader economic strategy of creating sustainable development pathways while integrating into the global economy. By carefully vetting applicants, the government ensures that new citizens can meaningfully contribute to Vanuatu's long-term prosperity and social development goals.
