Onboarding process:
Our process begins with an initial due diligence phase. Once you successfully pass this screening, we will present you with a Client Agreement (CA) for your examination and signature.
After we have your signed agreement and the retainer fee, our case processing team will take care of filling out all required government forms and assembling supporting documents for the Vanuatu Development Support Program (DSP). The Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) will then perform its own due diligence checks, leading up to the issuance of an Approval in Principle.
Before we submit your documents, our team will conduct a thorough assessment of your Vanuatu citizenship program application to make sure it meets all the requirements of the DSP. Our case processing team will then perform the final verifications before filing the necessary forms.
Throughout this process, we will maintain close collaboration with the Citizenship Unit to ensure that your application is processed both promptly and efficiently.
Passport issued
Once your application for the Vanuatu Citizenship by Investment Programme is approved, you are required to fulfil all necessary contributions and settle any relevant government charges. Subsequently, you will take an oath of allegiance and obtain your passport at the closest Vanuatu diplomatic mission.
