First launched in 2017, Citizenship by investment in Vanuatu is available to applicants
who invest from US$1,30,000 into a local development fund. Officially known as the
Vanuatu “Development Support Program” (DSP), the program offers one of the fastest
citizenship and second passport programs in the world and is the only program of its kind
in the Asia-Pacific Hemisphere. Vanuatu, a chain of 80 islands in the south Pacific to the
east of Australia is part of the Commonwealth. The official languages are English and
French. Vanuatu offers Citizenship with full Ni-Vanuatu rights (less voting rights and
political involvement).
