PLEASE NOTE: Paying less than these minimum stipulated amounts is illegal and could lead to your citizenship and passport being revoked. Moreover, technically you cannot buy a Vanuatu passport; you obtain it as a consequence of becoming a citizen of Vanuatu on the basis of making the requisite donation or investment.
An authorized immigration firm must assist with the Vanuatu citizenship application process. The authorized immigration lawyer will guide investors through the Vanuatu citizenship application process and ensure that they meet all the requirements.
With the assistance of an authorized agent, the process of obtaining Vanuatu citizenship is straightforward and efficient.
IMPORTANT: The Vanuatu Government and not the applicant pay the citizenship agent their fee. The agent's fee is hence included in the legislated cost detailed above. If your agent attempts to charge you additional fees to those listed above they are breaking the law and you should not use their service. Similarly an agent may not discount the legislated fee and if they do you could risk having your citizenship revoked without compensation after it is granted. It's hence essential to only consult with authorized agents to ensure compliance with all requirements and procedures specific to your circumstances when applying for Vanuatu citizenship.
