We deeply understand their unique needs: unrestricted movement, broadening business networks, and active participation in global projects. That’s why we craft tailored solutions that not only meet these objectives but also unlock new horizons for our clients.

The Client’s Challenge: Visa Roadblocks and Contract Disruptions

Our client, an architect, frequently works on projects spanning Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. However, his Nigerian citizenship constantly led to visa rejections and lengthy delays in obtaining them. This wasn’t merely an inconvenience; it damaged his professional reputation and resulted in the disruption of crucial contracts.

How the Client Discovered Us

The client learned about our company through a publication within a professional architectural community. Our successful collaboration with one of his colleagues served as a compelling example, convincing him to reach out. Following a detailed consultation, the client was impressed by the flexibility, confidentiality, and transparency of our proposals, which played a pivotal role in his decision.

The Solution: Vanuatu Citizenship and Overcoming Hurdles

We presented the architect with several options for obtaining second citizenship, each with its own characteristics:

• Antigua and Barbuda: Processing time up to 6 months, with the option to include family.
• Dominica: A viable alternative, but more expensive when including family members.
• Vanuatu Citizenship: Proposed as the optimal choice concerning timeline, cost, and the minimal volume of required documents.

The client chose Vanuatu citizenship. During the due diligence process, an unforeseen complication arose: one of the client’s past architectural projects was mentioned in a tax investigation. We promptly addressed the situation, assisting the client in preparing comprehensive explanations, confirming his independence from the disputed organization, and conducting the necessary legal review. Thanks to our efforts, the citizenship acquisition process continued without significant delays.

Chronology of Obtaining Citizenship:

1. Getting Started and Initial Consultation

January 10: The case commenced with an initial consultation. During this phase, we thoroughly discussed the client’s goals and objectives regarding obtaining a second citizenship. We provided him with complete information about the Vanuatu citizenship program, its advantages and requirements, and answered all his questions, enabling him to make an informed decision.

2. Comprehensive Verification and Document Collection

January 17: After the client decided to proceed, we initiated a thorough verification of his background. This step is critical for meeting the program’s requirements. Simultaneously, our team began collecting all necessary documents, including personal records, financial information, and proof of professional activity. We ensured full compliance of the gathered documents with all Vanuatu requirements to minimize the risk of delays.

3. Making the Investment Contribution

January 25: After successfully passing verification and preparing all documents, the client made an investment contribution of $150,000. This amount covered a family of three (the architect, his spouse, and a child). We facilitated the fund transfer process, ensuring its transparency and adherence to all financial regulations.

4. Application Approval

February 10: Just two weeks after the investment contribution, the client’s citizenship application was approved. This attests to the efficiency and speed of the Vanuatu program, as well as the quality of document preparation by our team.

5. Passport Delivery

March 5: The final stage — the delivery of the ready passports to the client. We guaranteed the secure and timely transfer of documents, allowing the client to immediately enjoy all the benefits of his new citizenship.

Result: Global Opportunities and Asset Protection

By obtaining Vanuatu citizenship, the client resolved all his pressing issues and unlocked new opportunities:

• • Legal Protection of Assets and Information: A Vanuatu passport helps maintain confidentiality and minimize risks of blockages or refusals, providing an additional layer of legal protection.

• • Complete Elimination of Visa Barriers: The client can now freely participate in international architectural exhibitions, meet with clients, and attend conferences without needing visas for Schengen Agreement countries and the United Kingdom.

• • Expansion of International Client Base: Having a second citizenship boosted trust in him as a professional, especially from clients in Europe and Asia.

• • Access to International Banking Services: The client was able to open a personal account in a UAE bank, which was previously unavailable for Nigerian passport holders. He now receives fees from clients directly without restrictions.

• • Participation in International Projects: Vanuatu citizenship has become a convenient tool for participating in tenders and competitions where international accreditation or citizenship of a “neutral” country was required.

• • Legal Protection of Assets and Information: A Vanuatu passport helps maintain confidentiality and minimize risks of blockages or refusals, providing an additional layer of legal protection.

This case vividly demonstrates that for professionals with an active international career, Vanuatu citizenship is not just an alternative but a strategic asset. Today, our client successfully manages projects in Lisbon, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore, and crucially, is no longer reliant on consulate queues and visa restrictions.
