FAQ
Is Vanuatu Actually Safe?
Yes. Politically stable, low crime, and the kind of place where basic common sense is the only precaution you need.
Is a Vanuatu Passport Really Worth It?
For the right investor, absolutely. Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 96+ countries — including Hong Kong and Singapore — with zero income, capital gains, or wealth tax on top.
Can You Bring Your Whole Family?
Yes, one application covers your spouse, dependent children, and, in many cases, dependent parents. Even adult dependent children or supported parents can qualify. Your advisor confirms exactly who’s eligible for you.
Do You Have to Give Up Your Current Passport?
No. Vanuatu fully permits dual citizenship you’re adding a nationality, not replacing one (subject to your home country’s own rules).
How Fast Can You Actually Become a Citizen?
As little as 6 – 8 months. No interview, no residency required just the government contribution and a due diligence check.
