Our company serves as a reliable guide through all stages of obtaining Vanuatu citizenship. We provide a full range of services: from the initial consultation to the ceremonial passport handover. Our goal is not just to guide the client through bureaucratic procedures but to address their specific needs, whether it’s tax optimization, asset protection, expanding travel opportunities, or ensuring personal security. We strive to ensure that every client feels confident and protected at every step of the journey.

The client’s problem: High taxes and restrictions on freedom

The client reported that they work remotely in the IT field, and their income comes from abroad. It was extremely important for them to legalize their financial flows, significantly reduce their tax burden, and gain the ability to travel freely around the world. At the same time, they were looking for a fast and straightforward process, without unnecessary bureaucracy and lengthy procedures.

How the client found us

Our client came to us on the recommendation of a colleague from the IT community, who had previously successfully obtained citizenship through our company. It was precisely our reputation as a reliable service provider and the detailed, comprehensive consultation that became the key factors convincing him to choose us. According to the client, he was looking for a company he could trust, and his colleague’s feedback confirmed that he was on the right track.

Solution to the problem: Citizenship of Vanuatu — the optimal choice

We offered the client several options for solving their tasks, each of which had its own advantages:

  • Citizenship of Vanuatu: This option was presented as the most optimal in terms of time, cost, and simplicity of processing.
  • Caribbean countries: These programs were more expensive and required more time for implementation.
  • Waiting for new programs in Europe: A potentially attractive but highly unpredictable option due to constant changes in migration policy.

The client, having weighed all the “pros” and “cons,” chose Vanuatu citizenship.

During the registration process, an unforeseen delay occurred: the bank blocked the transfer of the investment contribution. We promptly proposed an alternative solution through a licensed payment operator, which allowed the process to continue without losing time and to avoid further difficulties.

Chronology of obtaining citizenship:

Initial consultation and program selection

  • March 1: The process began with an initial consultation, during which we thoroughly discussed the client’s goals and needs. We presented him with various options for citizenship-by-investment programs, emphasizing the advantages and features of each. After a comprehensive analysis, the client made his choice in favor of the Vanuatu citizenship program, which best met his requirements in terms of speed and cost.

Collection and submission of documents

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

Obtaining preliminary approval

  • March 12: Already a week after submitting the documents, the client received preliminary approval for the application. This is an important step confirming that their candidacy successfully passed the initial review and meets the program’s requirements.

Making an investment contribution

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

Final approval and obtaining the passport

  • 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 demonstrates the incredible speed and efficiency of the program, allowing for obtaining second citizenship in record time.

The entire process took only 7 weeks, which is an exceptional speed for obtaining second citizenship.

Result: Financial freedom and global mobility

Thanks to obtaining Vanuatu citizenship, the client achieved all the set goals and discovered new opportunities:

  • Zero tax burden: The client officially obtained the status of a tax non-resident in the country of residence, which allowed them to reduce the tax burden to zero on income received from abroad.
  • Freedom of travel: 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: Now the client can legally use a second passport to open accounts in international banks (in Singapore and the UAE) and register a business in friendly jurisdictions, which significantly simplifies conducting international activities.
  • “Plan B” and personal safety: Having a second citizenship provides a “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.

“Thanks to your company, I not only obtained a second passport. I received a tool for personal and financial freedom, with which I feel confident and mobile. This solution gave me personal freedom, legal protection, and the opportunity to focus on developing my business without fear of blockages or restrictions,” concludes the client.
