The Vanuatu REO Program lets you gain citizenship by investing in government-approved property. Unlike the donation-based DSP, the REO route gives you both a second passport and a tangible asset. Purchase property in pre-approved developments, submit and verify your documents, and gain full citizenship. The process includes legal checks, submitting key documents, and paying fees, all managed by a licensed local representative.
To gain Vanuatu citizenship, you typically need to invest at least $100,000 USD, though this can vary by development. Eligible properties include government-approved resort villas, residential units, and serviced apartments. You must keep ownership for at least 5 years, after which you can sell without losing your citizenship. For more details, feel free to reach out to our specialist advisors.
Once all application forms, supporting documents, and investment confirmations are submitted, the processing time is typically 60 to 90 days. The process begins with a due diligence check, followed by a provisional approval. Once approved, the investment is finalized and the citizenship certificates and passports are issued. The timeline may vary slightly depending on the responsiveness of the applicant and the completeness of the documentation.
No, there are no residency or travel requirements for the Vanuatu REO Program. You don't need to live in or visit Vanuatu before, during, or after your application. Many applicants complete the process remotely through an appointed representative. However, owning property gives you the option to visit, live, or retire in Vanuatu if you choose.
Yes, you can include your spouse, children under 18, dependent children up to 25 (if they are full-time students), and dependent parents over 50 in your Vanuatu citizenship application. Each additional applicant requires separate documentation and a modest fee. All included family members will receive full citizenship with the same rights and benefits as you.
With Vanuatu citizenship through the REO Program, you get visa-free access to over 100 countries, including the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Enjoy no personal income, capital gains, or wealth taxes, and no corporate tax for your business. The process is quick and requires minimal paperwork. You gain lifetime citizenship that can be passed to future generations. Plus, you can own assets in a growing Pacific tourism destination known for its political stability and business-friendly environment.
