Our company acts as a reliable guide throughout the entire process of obtaining Vanuatu citizenship. We offer a comprehensive suite of services, from the initial consultation to the ceremonial handover of the passport. Our goal isn’t merely to navigate clients through bureaucracy; it’s to address their specific needs, whether it’s tax optimization, asset protection, expanding travel horizons, or ensuring personal security. We strive to make every client feel secure and confident at each step of their journey.
The Client’s Challenge: High Taxes and Restricted Freedom

The client, an IT professional working remotely, received income from abroad. It was critically important for them to legitimize their financial streams, significantly reduce their tax obligations, and gain the ability to travel unhindered worldwide. They sought a fast, straightforward process, free from unnecessary red tape and lengthy procedures.

How the Client Discovered Us

Our client found us through a recommendation from an IT community colleague who had successfully obtained citizenship via our company. Our reputation as a trusted service provider and the detailed, thorough consultation were the key factors that convinced him to choose us. The client stated he was looking for a company he could rely on, and his colleague’s feedback affirmed he was on the right path.

The Solution: Vanuatu Citizenship – The Ideal Choice

We presented the client with several options to address their needs, each with distinct advantages:

  • Vanuatu Citizenship: This option was highlighted as the most optimal in terms of processing time, cost, and ease of application.
  • Caribbean Countries: These programs were more expensive and required a longer timeline for completion.
  • Awaiting New Programs in Europe: A potentially appealing but highly unpredictable choice due to constant shifts in migration policies.

After carefully weighing all the pros and cons, the client opted for Vanuatu citizenship.

During the application process, an unexpected delay occurred: the bank blocked the transfer of the investment contribution. We quickly proposed an alternative solution through a licensed payment operator, which allowed the process to continue without delay and prevented further complications.

Chronology of Citizenship Acquisition:

1. Initial Consultation and Program Selection

March 1: The process commenced with an in-depth consultation where we thoroughly discussed the client’s objectives and requirements. We presented various citizenship by investment programs, emphasizing the benefits and characteristics of each. Following a comprehensive analysis, the client selected the Vanuatu citizenship program, which best aligned with his needs for speed and cost-effectiveness.

2. Document Collection and Submission

March 5: Immediately after program selection, our team began compiling and preparing all necessary documents. This stage involved a meticulous review of every detail to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the dossier. All documents were promptly submitted to the relevant Vanuatu authorities for consideration.

3. Obtaining Preliminary Approval

March 12: Just one week after document submission, the client received preliminary approval for the application. This was a crucial step, confirming that their candidacy had successfully passed the initial review and met the program’s requirements.

4. Making the Investment Contribution

March 20: Upon receiving preliminary approval, the client made an investment contribution of $135,000. We provided full support during this phase, ensuring the security and transparency of the financial transaction.

5. Final Approval and Passport Issuance

April 10: The client’s application received final approval from the Government of Vanuatu.

April 20: Just ten days after final approval, the client received an electronic passport. This highlights the remarkable speed and efficiency of the program, enabling the acquisition of second citizenship in record time.

The entire process took just 7 weeks, an exceptional speed for obtaining second citizenship.

Result: Financial Freedom and Global Mobility

Thanks to obtaining Vanuatu citizenship, the client achieved all their objectives and unlocked new opportunities:

    • Zero Tax Burden: The client officially acquired the status of a tax non-resident in their country of primary residence, allowing them to reduce their tax burden to zero on income earned from abroad.

    • Freedom of Travel: They gained the ability to travel freely without visas to 95+ countries, including key destinations for digital nomads and freelancers such as Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Schengen Agreement countries.

    • International Opportunities: The client can now legally use their second passport to open accounts in international banks (in Singapore and the UAE) and register a business in friendly jurisdictions, significantly simplifying international operations.

    • “Plan B” and Personal Safety: Having a second citizenship provides a crucial “Plan B” in case of unforeseen changes in the country of primary citizenship, such as sanctions, travel restrictions, or political instability.

    • Accelerated Verification: The ability to quickly confirm identity on international platforms (exchanges, fintech services, crypto exchanges) using an alternative passport.
