Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program
Your Fast-Track to Global Mobility
Launched in 2017, the Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program (CBI) offers a streamlined path to second citizenship in a tropical paradise. By making a contribution to the Vanuatu Development Support Program (VDSP), individuals and their families can quickly acquire citizenship and enjoy all the benefits that come with it — including global mobility, tax advantages, and a vibrant island lifestyle.
