At a glance

A route comparison built around your real circumstances.

Vanuatu remains legally available, but its international travel utility has materially changed. The European Union permanently ended visa-free access and the United Kingdom requires visas. Any decision should therefore be grounded in a real Pacific connection, nationality diversification or family objective—not outdated mobility marketing.

Program rules, selection priorities and processing conditions change. Every strategy therefore begins with a current-rule check and an individual review; public information is a starting point, not personal immigration advice.

Principal pathways

Contribution and approved investment routes to verify carefully.

These are high-level summaries. Eligibility and evidence should be confirmed against the rules in force when an application strategy is prepared.

VCP · DSP

Government Contribution Programs

Government contribution structures operating under current Vanuatu law and prescribed pricing, with exact channel, fee and designated-agent status confirmed before engagement.

CIIP

Capital Investment Immigration Plan

An approved capital-investment channel whose current structure, underlying asset, custody, risk and government status require independent verification.

REO

Real Estate Option Program

A route involving government-approved projects, subject to current eligibility, pricing and independent legal, construction and resale-risk analysis.

Decision standard

Vanuatu should be chosen for a genuine connection—not an outdated visa-free list.

This option may suit a narrow group of applicants with a Pacific, lifestyle or nationality-diversification objective who accept reduced travel utility, heightened scrutiny and the need to verify the exact program channel and designated agent.

Important considerations

The EU permanently revoked Vanuatu's visa exemption in December 2024, and the UK has required visas since July 2023.

Never rely on claims of visa-free EU, Schengen or UK access; they are no longer accurate.

Historical due-diligence concerns have led to reforms and heightened external scrutiny.

Only current government-designated structures and prescribed pricing should be used; unofficial discounts are a warning sign.
