Overview
Vanuatu is a picturesque island nation in the southern Pacific Ocean, consisting of 83 volcanic islands, 65 of which are inhabited. Located near Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea, it enjoys a tropical climate with warm weather, clean beaches, and scenic landscapes, making it an appealing destination for tourism, business, and permanent residence.
The country also offers a beneficial citizenship by investment program, with no personal income, capital gains, inheritance, or dividend taxes, making it attractive for international investors. Vanuatu’s citizens enjoy visa-free or simplified access to over 100 countries, and its political stability and ecological beauty make it an ideal location for those seeking a safe, relaxed, and nature-filled lifestyle.

Overview
The main advantage of Vanuatu is the absence of income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax, which significantly reduce financial burdens and protect assets. At the same time, citizenship does not require permanent residence in the country or knowledge of the language. You only need to make a one-time contribution to the National Development Fund, and the entire application process will become as convenient and transparent as possible.
At the moment, there are 2 main citizenship-by-investment programs operating in Vanuatu:
Development Support Program (DSP) – an official citizenship program through a non-refundable contribution;
Capital Investment Immigration Plan (CIIP) – a less well-known scheme for obtaining citizenship through investments in government bonds.
