What this site is

A privately published guide to holding Vanuatu citizenship alongside an existing nationality: whether your own country permits it, what a second passport achieves, and how tax and reporting are affected.

Independent of the authorities

This content is neither issued nor endorsed by the Government of Vanuatu. We do not represent the Department of Immigration, the Financial Intelligence Unit, the Citizenship Commission or the Citizenship Office, and none of those bodies has given us any designation.

Not advice, and particularly not on your own nationality

Whether you may acquire another citizenship without losing your existing one is determined by your existing country's law. Nothing on this site establishes that for you, and general description is not advice. The consequences of getting it wrong fall on you rather than on Vanuatu, which is why every page here directs you to your own nationality legislation and consular service.

No outcome is promised

The Vanuatu Citizenship Commission grants citizenship and does so at its discretion. Approval and dates cannot be assured by anyone, fees cannot be recovered once the work they cover has started, and the due diligence fee is kept if the check is failed. Any timeframes mentioned describe what the market reports, not a commitment.

Information ages

Fees, eligibility rules and travel arrangements change, sometimes with little warning. Pages were checked against official sources on the dates they show, so verify anything before you rely on it.

Travel and dual nationality

Statements about visa-free access describe the position when written, and entry is determined by each destination. Separately: most countries require their own citizens to enter and leave on the national passport, and using another document to conceal nationality can carry consequences. That is a matter of each country's law, not of anything described here.

Tax

Nothing on this site is tax advice. Tax residence, exit charges and reporting obligations depend on where you live and where you hold nationality, and the interaction is specific to you. Take advice from someone qualified in the jurisdictions concerned.

External links

Each official source is linked to let you test our statements against it; its content and availability are matters outside our hands.

Enquiries

Making an enquiry places no obligation on you or on us, and no engagement starts as a result. The form is not the place for identity documents, financial records or payment details.

Liability

The content is offered as it stands. Liability for loss caused by reliance on it is excluded as far as the law permits, but these terms do not try to exclude any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
