Vanuatu is a nation in the Pacific Ocean, located off the northeast coast of Brisbane, Australia. It has 83 islands and is known for its stunning beaches, pristine forests, and majestic landscapes. This tropical paradise attracts tourists and investors from around the world.
The population of Vanuatu is primarily indigenous, with 95% being “Ni-Vanuatu” of Melanesian origin. The rest of the population includes Europeans, other Pacific Islanders, and Asians. The country’s official languages are English and French, while Bislama, a local dialect, is the national language.
In Port Vila, the capital city, business hours typically run from 7:30 am to 11:30 am and then from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. With its natural beauty, cultural diversity, and thriving investment opportunities, Vanuatu presents a compelling choice for those interested in Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment.
Overview of Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Program
Vanuatu launched its citizenship program in January 2017 alongside the Development Support Program (DSP). The Vanuatu Government established the DSP under the Citizenship Act (CAP 112). It was enacted with the authority granted to the Prime Minister by Section 20 of the Citizenship Act (112) Order No.215 of 2016.
Notably, Vanuatu offers the only Citizenship by Investment Program in the Asia-Pacific region, making it a unique and attractive option for investors seeking citizenship in this region.
