About Vanuatu Citizenship
Vanuatu citizenship offers a second-nationality option for individuals and families considering future travel flexibility and long-term family planning. The programme involves eligibility assessment, identity verification, source-of-funds checks and government review.
Vanuatu recognises dual citizenship, although applicants should confirm whether their existing country permits them to retain their current nationality. Eligible family members may qualify under applicable programme rules, subject to individual circumstances and supporting documentation.
Citizenship does not automatically provide residence or work rights in other countries, guarantee banking access or eliminate tax obligations.
