Vanuatu

Turkey is a nation straddling eastern Europe and western Asia with cultural connections to ancient Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires. Cosmopolitan Istanbul, on the Bosphorus Strait, is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, with its soaring dome and Christian mosaics, the massive 17th-century Blue Mosque and the circa-1460 Topkapı Palace, former home of sultans. Ankara is Turkey’s modern capital.

ABOUT  VANUATU

Vanuatu, officially known as the Republic of Vanuatu, is an archipelago nation, spread across 82 islands in the south Pacific Ocean. Three hours flight time from Sydney.

The country’s capital and largest city is Port Villa and its official languages are Bislama, French and English. The local currency is the Vanuatu Vatu (VAV).

Vanuatu enjoys strong relationships with many powerful nations around the world, with close cultural and economic ties to Australia, New Zealand and much of the European Union. The country is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund and has been fully independent since 1980.

Consistently rated as one of the “Happiest Countries on Earth”, Vanuatu’s location, people, pristine environment and natural beauty render this as truly one of the Planet’s last undiscovered “gems”.

Vanuatu’s citizenship by investment program is called the “Development Support Program” or DSP, and was launched on 01 January 2017.  The Government of Vanuatu designed the DSP to both attract quality high net worth applicants – who might also become investors in Vanuatu, and also to directly raise funds in support of the further development of the country.

As the newest citizenship by investment program in the world, it is also the fastest, by far, with Government pre-clearance for applicants taking as little as 10 days.

The entire process in Vanuatu can permit applicants to have a new passport in their hand, in less than 60 days. So if time is of the essence, this is the by far the best option, allowing visa free travel to over 130 countries, including Schengen and the UK.

STEPS AND  PROCEDURES

  • Apply for pre-approval.  You’ll need your existing passport, a second form of certified ID copy, a police clearance report and a personal profile (CV). A one-off  fee of USD$5,000 is payable at the same time as document submission.
  • Gain pre-approval and submit investment. Within 10 days of initial application, you will gain written confirmation of clearance to proceed from the Vanuatu government Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), and make your full payment along with the remaining documentation filing.
  • Submit for screening.  The Vanuatu Citizen Commission will examine your application, to check if you have obtained the requisite clearance to proceed (FIU), and to check if all documentation and payment has been received. You will be guided through this to ensure that the documents are presented at this stage in full, with no errors.
  • Confirmation by the Prime Minister.  The Citizenship Commission will inform the Prime Minister who will confirm your citizenship with the President who personally signs your Citizenship Certificate.
  • Take oath and become a citizen. The last step is to take your citizenship oath, which is a requirement by the Vanuatu Government. This is a ceremony where you pledge your allegiance to Vanuatu, and become a citizen of Vanuatu with all the associated rights. At this stage you get your Certificate of Citizenship and your new passport.

You do not have to be physically in Vanuatu to take your oath.
