The opportunity

The fastest route to a second citizenship.

Vanuatu, a stable nation in the South Pacific, operates one of the fastest citizenship programmes in existence — frequently completed in a matter of weeks rather than months. The process is remote, with biometrics available in Dubai among other locations.

The jurisdiction levies no tax on worldwide income, capital gains or inheritance, which can make it a useful element within a wider plan. Visa-free access is more modest than the Caribbean programmes, and its scope has shifted in recent years, so we would weigh it for speed and structure rather than mobility alone.

A non-refundable contribution from USD 130,000 for a single applicant.

Considered within the whole

A second citizenship is rarely a decision on its own. Where you hold it touches your tax position, your succession, and the structures that hold your wealth. We place the choice inside the whole of your affairs — so it strengthens the rest, rather than working against it.

Important information

The figures shown are minimum qualifying investments and are indicative only. Government charges, due-diligence and processing fees, and professional costs apply in addition, and programme terms, thresholds and benefits are set by the relevant government and change from time to time. Nothing here is an offer or a solicitation.

Regulated financial services, where required, are provided through our partnership with NEBA Private Clients, under the authorisation of the entity licensed to act in the relevant jurisdiction.
