Invest in Your Future with Citizenship of Vanuatu
The Advantages
Vanuatu passports offer visa-free and visa-on-arrival access to 129 destinations worldwide, including prestigious areas such as the EU, UK, Ireland, Russia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and many nations within the Caribbean and the Commonwealth.
Vanuatu stands out for its advantageous tax policies, as it does not levy taxes on income, wealth, or inheritance. This presents a significant benefit for investors seeking to optimise their tax obligations while safeguarding their wealth.
Vanuatu passport holders are eligible for the B-1/B-2 Visitor Visas, valid for a period of up to five years. This visa empowers its holder to enjoy extended stays in the United States with the freedom to engage in business, explore the country, seek medical treatments, and participate in educational courses.
This program is globally recognised as one of the fastest and most cost-effective pathways to citizenship. It is designed for a swift and straightforward citizenship process that does not compromise on quality or the benefits of dual nationality. Successful applicants typically receive their passports within just 7 to 8 weeks.

Authorised agents are assigned to carry out an initial, thorough due diligence phase that focuses on understanding the applicants’ backgrounds, verifying the legitimacy of their funds, and conducting criminal background checks. This involves cross-referencing all initial documents against global databases. Applications and supporting documents are also submitted to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), where the due diligence process is finalised.
The Process
During the first week of your application, Discus Holdings endeavours to conduct your preliminary background check, which includes the background check by the Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), and draw up an accurate file containing all relevant documents for submission. The payment of relevant government and consulting fees is required.
We strive to complete all applications accurately and timeously. As a result, we expect a tentative approval within the second week of your application process.
Vanuatu will reach a final decision to determine whether your application has been awarded citizenship.
After reaching a conclusion, applications will be required to finalise their investments for their chosen and agreed upon government donation. Discus Holdings facilitates this process and ensures relevant proof is provided to accompany your application.
During week 7, the swearing of the oath ceremony will take place either at Vanuatu’s diplomatic missions in your country of residence or within Vanuatu itself. Additional fees will apply here.
Applicants will receive their Certificate of Citizenship and Vanuatu passport.
