Published single-applicant programme amount

Before you decide

Confirm the designated agent, current DSP terms and official payment instructions before transferring funds.

The official schedule separately lists USD 5,000 for FIU due diligence. Family composition, passport and other service charges affect the total. Obtain a current itemised quotation. Figures are not a full quotation or a guarantee of approval.

YOUR DESTINATION, IN FOCUS

Understand the contribution, the checks and the travel conditions.

Vanuatu lists the Development Support Program among its citizenship pathways. This page focuses on DSP; other investment routes have separate conditions. Citizenship depends on government review and approval, not payment alone.

Start with your objectives and compare the route against your family’s circumstances. A shortlist helps focus the discussion; it does not establish eligibility.

01

Individual contribution

The Citizenship Office publishes USD 130,000 for a single applicant. This is the programme amount, not an all-inclusive quotation or a refundable investment.

02

Family planning

The published schedule lists USD 150,000 for a married couple, USD 165,000 with one child and USD 180,000 with two children. Confirm qualifying dependants and all additional charges for your household.

Check the official programme

Eligibility & ongoing compliance.

Agent and documentation

Check the Citizenship Office designated-agent register and current DSP application checklist. Prepare identity, family and financial evidence; confirm source-of-funds requirements and any nationality restrictions before applying.

Due diligence and completion

FIU due diligence forms part of the investment citizenship process. Follow the current government instructions for screening, payments, approval, oath and passport issuance. Confirm any attendance or biometric arrangements; approval and processing dates are not guaranteed.

Travel access

The EU ended Vanuatu visa exemption in December 2024. Do not treat this passport as visa-free Schengen access. Check the destination authority before travel; the passport score shown here is a dated mobility snapshot, not a guarantee of entry.

Prepare the right questions.

  • Does this route accept my nationality and circumstances?
  • Which family members can be included?
  • What is the complete investment and fee breakdown?
  • What background and source-of-funds evidence is required?
  • What holding, residence or renewal conditions continue afterwards?

A little more clarity.

Does the DSP contribution guarantee citizenship or visa-free access to Europe?

No. Citizenship requires government approval, and Vanuatu passport holders are subject to the EU visa requirement. Individual destination entry rules must be checked separately.

Who makes the final decision?

The relevant government authority decides applications. Neither a consultation nor an investment provides a guarantee of approval.
